1st Stage to Present WHEN THE RAIN STOPS FALLING

Epic in scope and poetic in language, this beautiful, haunting play crosses continents and challenges the boundaries of time to tell the story of one family and the events that bring them together and drive them apart. Encompassing four generations of fathers and sons and their mothers, lovers, and wives, the story is sweeping yet extraordinarily intimate. A crucial message of hope weaves its way through this tale as the expanding family learns from the past and approaches the future with tenacious spirit. A riveting mystery, the play is a "metaphor for the impossibility of escaping the past, for the way we are all shaped by what came before-and are living in the shadow of what comes next." -TIME Magazine.
