BWW Reviews: SCR Revives THREE DAYS OF RAIN
by Michael L. Quintos
- May 28, 2011
There is perhaps a certain truth in the adage that we as adults are simply the end product of a combined cocktail of biologically-inherited traits, as well as the many environmental factors that invade our lives as young children that are carried into maturity. By this logic, is it fair to ask... if we know more about our parents, do we learn more about ourselves? In South Coast Repertory's new admirable revival of Richard Greenberg's Pulitzer Prize-nominated play THREE DAYS OF RAIN--which had its originally-commissioned World Premiere production in this very same theater back in 1997--these questions are tested in our observations of three interlinked individuals and the mysterious generational gap between them and their parents. The play performs at SCR through June 12.
