Three Days of Rain

Three Days of Rain

"Three Days of Rain" is a play by Richard Greenberg.

The play centers on Walker, his sister Nan, and their childhood friend Pip, who all meet in an unoccupied loft in lower Manhattan in 1995 to divide the legacy of their late fathers, who were partners in a renowned architecture firm. In an effort to bring some peace to their own lives, the three search for clues that might explain what had gone on between their fathers, and the women in their lives, decades before. The story then shifts to that earlier time, with the same three actors portraying members of the previous generation in the same loft, during the fateful 1960 "three days of rain," which gives the play its title.

The play was commissioned and originally produced by South Coast Repertory in 1997, and had its New York premiere later that year, in a production at the Manhattan Theatre Club featuring Patricia Clarkson, John Slattery and Bradley Whitford. It was nominated for the Pulitzer prize in drama, and has enjoyed many subsequent productions in regional theatres across the United States and abroad. The most famous production to date was on Broadway, where the play was used as a star vehicle for the heavily promoted stage debut of film star Julia Roberts. Opening on April 19 2006 at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre, the production included Paul Rudd, and Bradley Cooper. Although it was certainly the most eagerly awaited show of the Broadway season in the popular press, it met with poor response from theatrical reviewers and closed as scheduled in June 2006.
