Richard Greenberg’s Three Days of Rain opened at the Apollo Theatre in February 2009.
Walker Janeway (James McAvoy) and his sister Nan (Lyndsey Marshal) reunite for the reading of their father’s will in the Manhattan loft where he lived. A wealthy architect, Ned’s legacy is the iconic, internationally renowned 1960s New York house designed with his late business partner Theo. Joined by Theo’s son Pip (Nigel Harman), the three childhood friends meet to settle the estate and determine the future of the house. The discovery of a brief entry, “three days of rain”, in Ned’s diary is the only clue to the true stories of the previous generation.
Three Days of Rain explored how the private worlds of one generation are reinterpreted by the next. A tender and surprising story of love lay at the heart of a creative conflict which these children could never imagine.
