Bunny (play)

Bunny is a play by Norman Krasna.

In April 1970 Krasna announced it would go to Broadway and would be produced by Leland Hayward. "We're hoping for a big name" said Krasna who said the play was about a 35-year-old woman "who gets around."^[1] The play did not go to Broadway. There was a London production in 1972 starring Eartha Kitt. The Guardian called it "about amusing as an eyewitness account of the Black Death".^[2]

It was sent to Ellen Burstyn to appear in or direct. She decided to direct a production put on at the Actors Studio in 1979.^[3]
