'I was a thing, you see. I was a pretty bloody big bloody thing. I was briefly – very briefly – a meme. A craze. One of the first.' We all have our comfort blankets and coping mechanisms. And if yours happens to be wearing a full-sized rabbit onesie (with ears), what's the problem? You're not bothering anyone. At least, not until you're photographed at the back of a child's funeral. Dressed as a rabbit. And the photo goes viral. Rose Heiney's Original Death Rabbit is a painfully funny play, shining a light on one woman's struggle with the dark side of the internet. Originally broadcast on BBC Radio 4, the play received its stage premiere at Jermyn Street Theatre, London, in January 2019.

This ebook was created before the end of rehearsals and so may differ slightly from the play as performed.
A tiny, very messy studio flat. The mess is pretty dense; we’re almost in hoarder territory, but not quite.
On the walls are posters pertaining to the four major Richard Curtis films – Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, Love Actually and About Time.
And a small shelf of books – old, cloth-and-leather-bound books.
There is a little table and chair set up in the centre of the flat. The bit of wall behind the table is white, and free of posters (this is important as we’re going to project things on to it later).
There’s a laptop open on the table.
A young woman who believes herself to be anUGLY CUNT– so that’s what we’ll call her throughout – is sitting on a swivel chair in front of the laptop, staring at the screen.
She is wearing an old, bright-pink, animal-print fluffy onesie with a hood, which has large fluffy pink-and-white bunny ears on it.
The UGLY CUNT is using the Photo Booth application on her laptop. Stares very, very seriously at the screen. Adjusts her ears so they are straight. Presses a key, and we hear the one-two-three Photo Booth countdown, then a too-loud sound and a too-bright flash as her selfie (stiff, solemn, fluffy-eared selfie) is projected brieflly on to the wall behind her.
Webcam working, let’s begin.
The UGLY CUNT addresses the webcam. She speaks with a slight mockney accent.
