First off, the trip we took that Sunday was the first time I’ve ever been to the Macaulay building, I thought it was pretty cool it was very cozy and it was nice to finally see. The commute was not bad, the crowded subway was awful though, people breathing on me is just not a great feeling, but it was cool to see my moms old office on 66th street, she worked for ABC.

When I read the play, I said it was weird, what is the point of this? However, after we had the chance to meet with the writer and the cast, I realized that the play is actually beautiful, it reflects greatly the duality of society and nature, but also the emphasis on sins, as the wife said she will create 1,000 monsters, as Thomas was too pushy on having a kid and she was not comfortable. I did not like Gil that much when reading, but when listening Gil was an enjoyable character who was a good source of comedic relief in a scary situation.

Just one complaint I have is not knowing the true meaning of the rabbit. As the writer said, he based this play off of an old story of a women who claimed to give birth to a rabbit, but I still feel even in that story hundreds of years ago, there is still a meaning to a rabbit. This could definitely just be me overthinking a simple story, and looking too deep into it, but I still believe that the rabbit had to due with fertility and there is a deeper meaning to it.

All in all, it was a great experience to speak to the talented actors and the writer. This is probably something that will never again happen in my life and thankfully Macaulay made it possible.
