Watership Down

2025 Clifftown Theatre

Trouble brews in the warren. Hunted and afraid, a band of rabbits dares to flee.
Survival is not enough – they were made to live. In the face of tyranny, compassion becomes a weapon.
In the face of death, hope becomes defiance. And in the darkest times, we tell stories to stay alive.
A tale of refuge, rebellion, and the cost of courage.
Inspired by Richard Adams’ classic novel, Rona Munro’s visceral play weaves myth, music, and movement into a haunting tale of resilience and belief.
