"The novel’s message of empathy for the nonhuman world remains alarmingly relevant, and its tale of survival against the odds compelling, especially in this well-wrought production." –Time Out Chicago
"Lifeline Theatre's brilliant production captures the epic sprawl and driving suspense of its source... In fact, Lifeline tops Adams's signature feat of delivering well-defined, often affecting characters who are--you know--rabbits" –Chicago Reader
When their birthplace is destroyed, brothers Hazel and Fiver lead a misfit band of survivors on a quest for a new home.
