Bunny

An exhilarating coming-of-age drama for a solo performer.
Scorching heat. A fight. A car chase. A siege. When her boyfriend is attacked on the street, feisty eighteen-year-old Katie is thrust on a white-knuckle ride through one extraordinary evening. Amidst the baying for blood and the longing for love, Katie is forced to decide her future.
Jack Thorne's play Bunny was first performed at the 2010 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, in a production by nabokov and Escalator East to Edinburgh in association with Watford Palace Theatre and Mercury Theatre, Colchester. It was awarded a Fringe First, and subsequently toured the UK from June 2011 before a run at Soho Theatre, London, in October 2011.

    👍Worth reading

    Laugh out loud hilarious. Naughty, cheeky and a tad racist but in the funniest way. Some great lines in this book. I love the honest and explicit manifestation Thorpe conveys through Katie- a character I see some of myself in. In a nonchalant and lighthearted yet impactful way tackles themes such as British culture and ethnicity, relationships with parents, sexuality and the dramas of being a teenager. Great quick read.

Quotes

  • Isabelle Byfordhas quoted4 years ago
    ut they were bored and it was quite shit and they thought it’d be quite funny to leave, and it sort of was, you know? Funny. Still quite an embarrassing one to explain to your parents. Where are all your friends? Um. Hiding. No. They’ve gone. Obviously. Where have they gone? Um. Home. Probably. Why? Why have they gone? Turn. Look parents in the eye. Because this was pointless. I basically turned it all on them. Which was fair enough. They’d made some effort. But the wrong effort. And so had I. I mean, it was mostly my fault. There was booze – but there were too many snacks and not enough Ann Summers’ toys or something. I don’t know.
    Anyway, it’s not as bad as it sounds…

    but he’d never use a phrase like blood sugar because it sounds too posh.

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