Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Set in New York, Three Days of Rain centers on a brother Walker, his sister Nan, and their childhood friend Pip who meet to settle their parents' estate. The two fathers were long-time friends and partners in architecture; their legacy is the brilliantly daring creation, the 1960's Janeway House. In this tense and brittle reunion, much more is at stake than who gets the house.
Brother and sister discover their father's sparse diary, and use it to create a story for themselves that will explain away the present and make sense of their parent's passionless marriage. Over the 'three days of rain' entered in the young architect's diary, the same three actors then play their own parents and reveal a romantic significance and creative dilemma that none of these children could ever have imagined.
Julia Roberts will make her Broadway debut in spring 2006 as Nan in a revival of Richard Greenberg's Three Days of Rain.

Rated by buyers -
Greenberg is our most erudite playwright. He doesn't really write comedy nor can one call this a drama. Instead, it is a kind of thriller for intellectuals, perhaps like "Sleuth", but not really a mystery and certainly not a just a game. Gripping, witty, moving: yes, it is all these things, reminding one perhaps of the sort of plays in the 1930s that filled Broadway houses but now only come along once in a decade, if that. Were it not for Julie Roberts, this play would never have made it on to today's Broadway stages; this sort of thing is rare enough on regional stages. It's about three days in the Village back in the glory days when something extraordinary happened between two people that changed their lives - I guess one could say for the better - and now years later their kids try to find out what exactly it was that happened.
