Michael Shaw Fisher joins The Roundtable to talk about the Off-Broadway premiere of The Amazing Sex Life of Rabbits, now playing at SoHo Playhouse as part of the International Fringe Encore Series. Fresh off its award-winning run at the Hollywood Fringe Festival, the play dives into a mysterious dinner between two couples that erupts into a sharp, provocative 21st-century class war. Michael breaks down the inspiration behind the piece, the themes of desire, economics, nostalgia, and sexual tension, and how a seemingly polite reunion between exes spirals into something much darker and more revealing. We talk about why this story is resonating right now — and what makes audiences leave buzzing.
Beyond Rabbits, Michael reflects on his dynamic career as a writer, composer, director, and performer. From winning Ovation Awards for Skullduggery: The Musical Prequel to Hamlet to his rock musical Exorcistic and his solo hit Shakespeare’s Last Night Out, his creative voice is bold, biting, and deeply theatrical. This conversation is funny, fearless, and full of insight into the mind of an artist who isn’t afraid to stir the pot. Downtown theater lovers — this one’s for you.
The Roundtable is available on BroadwayWorld, YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeart, and more.
