Growing frustrated at the destruction of his rural idyll, a farmer picks up a pamphlet that encourages him on a dangerous path. He has a great idea to secure the future of the native animals on his land - to kill all of the non-natives. With his daughter against him, and his son on the fence, his idea looks equally brilliant and insane. His goal may be achieved, but at what cost A dark comedy pondering the effects of extremism, Bunnies is new play by up and coming young writer Kieran Lynn.
