This Is The Week...
Written by Alan Zweibel
Directed by Noah Herman

In Bunny Bunny, a beautiful and witty start to our season, playwright Alan Zweibel remembers his buddy-and-almost-lover friendship with Saturday Night Live actress Gilda Radner. At turns sarcastic, charming, confrontational, and always funny—this imaginary biography of one of television’s funniest ladies describes the relationship that could have been, and the good times that always will be.
