Bunny - by Jack Thorne - Harrogate Theatre

Set over the course of one turbulent night, the play follows Katie - sharp, funny, angry, and painfully alive as she ricochets through friendship, desire, humiliation, and self-destruction. What begins as reckless bravado quickly spirals into something far darker, exposing the fragile line between empowerment and exploitation, freedom and harm.

Jack Thorne’s (Adolescence) writing crackles with urgency and wit, capturing the language, rhythms, and contradictions of a generation raised under constant scrutiny. Bunny is fearless in its exploration of sexuality, consent, class, and the desperate hunger to be seen - not as a symbol, not as an object, but as a person in control of her own story.

Bunny is brutally funny and deeply unsettling, the play asks urgent questions about who gets to define young women’s choices, and at what cost. It is a howl of rage, a sharp satire, and a painfully intimate portrait of vulnerability in a world that commodifies it.

Provocative, electric, and impossible to forget, Bunny is theatre that grabs you and implores you listen.
