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.
