Description Part one man-show, stand-up routine, theatre of the absurd, dance, improvisation and poignant drama, it is impossible to categorize but it is a wild and thrilling ride. Through the use of slides, charts, miniature models, dangling potatoes and blocks of wood, Hughes takes us on a journey that seems modern and magical and as transforming as any high-tech experience might be. The word projected onto the back wall as we enter is Death. This is the story of a dead rabbit and the story of the death of Hughes' father and the interwoven narrative, which moves between periods in time and the reactions and emotions of the characters, is ingenious in both its simplicity and its power to move.
