As the Easter holiday approaches, many of us are reminded of the symbol of the rabbit, which has become a staple of the season. Rabbits are known for their playful and energetic nature and have long been associated with the renewal and rebirth that a change in season represents. It’s no wonder that this beloved animal has become a central figure in many Easter traditions and celebrations around the world.

The theatre world has also embraced the rabbit as a symbol of Easter, with many productions featuring rabbits as central characters. Here are four examples of plays and musicals that celebrate the magic and wonder of these furry creatures.

“Watership Down”

This stage adaptation of Richard Adams’ beloved novel tells the story of a group of rabbits searching for a new home. The play explores themes of survival, leadership, and the power of friendship, and has captivated audiences of all ages.

“Bunnicula”

Based on the popular children’s book by Deborah and James Howe, “Bunnicula” tells the story of a rabbit who may be a vampire. This hilarious and heartwarming musical is a delight for families looking for a fun and entertaining Easter-themed show.

“The Velveteen Rabbit”

This timeless classic by Margery Williams tells the story of a stuffed rabbit who longs to become real. The play explores themes of love, loss, and the transformative power of imagination, making it a perfect fit for the Easter season.

“Peter Rabbit Tales”

Based on the stories of Beatrix Potter, “Peter Rabbit Tales” brings to life the mischievous adventures of the beloved rabbit and his friends. With catchy songs and whimsical choreography, this musical is sure to delight audiences of all ages.

These four theatre productions are just a few examples of the many ways that rabbits have been celebrated in the arts, and they serve as a reminder of the joy and wonder that these furry creatures bring into our lives. So this Easter, take a moment to appreciate the magic of the rabbit, and all that it represents.
