    childlike simplicity, suburban dreariness and the story’s

    trajectory.” 

    “delivered by Ms. Wyatt in a captivating performance”

    “we see a Britain in the throes of seething ethnic strife.”

The fantastic Rosie Wyatt has won more plaudits from yet another reviewer State Side!

    “Bunny’s primary attraction is Wyatt’s superb performance… she

    makes Thorne’s text appear effortless.”

    “Over the course of the play, we come to care immensely for

    Katie.”

BUNNY hits New York

Monday, 9:30am and team nabokov set off, bound for the land of the brave and the home of the free!

The well-oiled, SAS like machine that is nabokov on tour hits a slight snag at approximately 10am when the producer’s visa hasn’t been processed - but no matter!  Something as insignificant as ‘the law’ isn’t going to get in the way of BUNNY by the fantastic Jack Thorne heading State Side!  At the last minute the new visa is processed and we’re set, and we’re go, and that’s good enough for us…

Excitement.

Fear.

Feariment.

The flight was a fun seven hours packed with banter, films and free aeroplane food that frankly is so processed that actually selling it would violate several international health regulations.  Oh and some free drink.  And a bit more.  And, oh go on then, just a bit more.  A little too much free drink in fact for some Mark…

After a smooth landing and a taxi into the city we are there and ready to let Katie loose on the city that never sleeps!

The first week has gone brilliantly with packed out audiences and the first rave review is already out! 

    “Rosie Wyatt makes a smashing professional and New York debut in Jack Thorne's edgy, frank drama” 

Read the full review here

In between shows various disgustingly touristy duties have been fulfilled with gusto and the team have been out on the town discovering just why they call it the city that never sleeps!  Also we headed down to the awesome Ars Nova (one of the coolest and bravest venues in New York, dedicated to developing young talent) and spent a cracking night watching some young guns tell the story of American nuclear power through song, dance and theatre.  Lovely stuff.

All in all an incredible week and team nabokov have now headed back to the UK, leaving the truly superb Rosie Wyatt to perform BUNNY for another two weeks!  We are, of course, intensely jealous of her. 

BUNNY is playing in New York with the Brits Off Broadway at the 59E59 Theatres until November 20^th, so if you happen to be in the Big Apple head along and check out the show!

A week until we open BUNNY in New York!



We're not really sure how it happened, but suddenly with only a week left of our sell-out run at the Soho Theatre (book tickets here) we're off to New York to open another production of Jack Thorne's "brilliant minature play" (according to Time Out).

The flights are booked, our visas are ready and we can't wait to be heading off to the Big Apple to educate the Americans about Luton. We'll be keeping you updated on what audiences think of the show when it's at 59E59 Theaters, but in the meantime if you haven't seen it while it's here, get booking. After sold out shows last week and only two left for tomorrow (even after we added more seats!), you've got to get there fast if you want to see it.

BUNNY opened at The Soho this week and the first review is out and it is a cracker!

    Thorne, this Fringe First-winning monologue does suggest itself an

    obvious tipping point”

 

    “a terrific, magnetically-watchable Rosie Wyatt”

 

     “the beautifully sad story of a lonely girl who was never given 

     enough.”

BUNNY, a year on...

And how far we've come! The formidable Rosie Wyatt performed Jack Thorne's fringe first award winning 'bunny'' for the 50th time last night at the soho theatre upstairs. Rather auspicious you might say? In our 9th venue Katie enthralled her new London audience with her trade mark wit and sas. Team nabokov couldn't be more thrilled to be here for Bunny's long overdue London debut, and celebrated with post show bubbles and banter.

It was a fond reunion between cast and creatives and Rosie threw out another belting performance. It's been an incredible journey that has brought us to the mighty Soho and 'Bunny' is certainly back with a vengeance -  funnier and feistier than ever!

Miss us at your peril...

Book here.

Rosie and Joe discuss BUNNY

We've spent the morning at the Soho Theatre preparing for our first performance this evening (we can't wait).

In the meantime, thought, we thought we share with you a short video of Artistic Director Joe Murphy and actor Rosie Wyatt talking about the play.

And if you want to find out more, come along to the Soho Theatre at 8pm this evening (or another night in the next three weeks).

BUNNY at the Soho Theatre

Katie's finally coming to London. After a Fringe First winning Edinburgh run, followed by a critically-acclaimed UK tour, nabokov is proud to bring Jack Thorne's searing monologue to Soho Theatre, for a limited season of three weeks, before taking the show to New York as part of the Brits Off Broadway Festival at 59E59 Theaters.

If you haven't had a chance to catch this fantastic piece from one of the UK's most exciting young voices, book now before you miss out! And then check out the series premiere of Jack's new TV show The Fades which airs tonight.

BUNNY

by Jack Thorne

October - November 2011

Presented by nabokov

“Amusing, poignant, bang on the money real – catch it if you can” - ***** WhatsOnStage

“Pretty much pitch perfect” - ***** Manchester Evening News 

The Fringe First Award winning production goes to London and New York.

"I don't like thinking. But I do. Think. All the time."

Scorching heat. A fight. A car-chase. A siege. Feisty 18-year-old Katie is thrust on white-knuckle ride through one extraordinary evening when her boyfriend is attacked on the street. Amidst the baying for blood and the longing for love, Katie is forced to decide her future.

This award winning, deeply personal new play from one of Britain’s most exhilarating young writers is an unflinching, heartbreakingly vulnerable look at the complexities of growing up and the complications of racial diversity in Britain today

“Electrifying” - **** The Scotsman

“Jack Thorne confirms his position as a powerful voice for Britain's youth" with writing that is "fresh and compelling". - **** The Independent 

“Rosie Wyatt gives a remarkable performance" - **** The Financial Times
