Bunnies takes place in January, 1973, at 2:00 am in the locker room of the NY Playboy Club. Two Bunnies, Lottie and Janice have just gotten off the night shift and are changing out of their costumes, when a third Bunny, Bonita, enters; extremely upset about an interaction she just had with an angry customer. She is reluctant to talk about the incident because she, like Janice and Lottie, has been spooked by a report in the newspaper of a 28 year- oldwoman named Roseann Quinn, who was bludgeoned to death by a man she picked up in a bar, a bar that Janice used to frequent, “because,” she says, “it’s the only bar in New York, that allows women to come in without an escort.!”. The story is making not only local, but national headlines. The play is based on the playwright’s own experiences as a Playboy Bunny from 1973-1975.
