The Rabbit Queen

The Rabbit Queen is a wild, irreverent, and true tale of a woman who convinced the world she could give birth to rabbits. Once upon a time…the world was hoodwinked by a poor, illiterate woman named Mary Toft. The year was 1726 and over the course of several months, Mary managed to fool the finest doctors, scientists, and nobles into believing she could give birth to rabbits. Delivering on that promise, Mary performed the mesmerizing spectacle 17 times over, securing her place in history as "The Rabbit Queen." The story of Mary’s viral hoax and subsequent cancellation is one that touches on themes of bodily autonomy, women’s reproductive freedom, gender and class roles, and the dangers of blindly trusting authority figures and the media. This new comedy musical is due this June.
