BroadwayWorld has just learned that François Arnaud (“Heated Rivalry”), David Corenswet (Superman) and Yvonne Strahovski (“The Handmaid’s Tale”) will star in a new production of Tony Award winner Richard Greenberg’s THREE DAYS OF RAIN directed by Tony Award winner Anna D. Shapiro (Eureka Day, August: Osage County) in February 2027 at a Shubert Theatre to be announced. For more information and to sign up for first access tickets visit http://threedaysofrain.com.
Anna D. Shapiro said, “THREE DAYS OF RAIN is truly one of the most beautiful plays I’ve ever done or experienced. Steeped in the brilliantly funny and enchantingly complex world of Richard Greenberg, the story follows two generations of New York intelligentsia as they navigate the burden of family, the seduction of art and the necessity of love over time and eternity.”
Creative team, dates and more information will be announced shortly.
THREE DAYS OF RAIN is produced by David Binder and co-produced by Jayne Baron Sherman. 101 Productions, Ltd. serves as Executive Producer and General Managers. Casting is by Caparelliotis Casting.
THREE DAYS OF RAIN is a sharply funny drama that unfolds as a mystery about inheritance: what parents leave behind and what children discover years later.
Hailed as “world class” and “a major achievement” by the LA Times, THREE DAYS OF RAIN was a finalist for the 1998 Pulitzer Prize and celebrated by NY Magazine as “moving, provocative and deeply funny,” an “engrossing puzzle in two acts” by the NY Times, “brimming with a savvy, intelligent wit and richly conceived characters” by Variety and a “terrific piece of theater…perhaps the best yet by Richard Greenberg” by the NY Sun. It was last seen on Broadway in 2006, starring Bradley Cooper, Julia Roberts, and Paul Rudd.
