Theatre Review – When The Rain Stops Falling (MTC) – 3 Stars
After describing the plot of ‘When The Rain Stops Falling’ to someone who hadn’t seen it, I was asked how the time-shifts had held up on stage. The answer, in this case, is a little iffy. As far as staging goes, it was handled well, often with overlaps, but always with a clear understanding of where was when. Unfortunately, it wasn’t always clear who was who, and three quarters of the play is spent figuring out which character was which in each timeframe. A little more attention to plot clarity, and less on directorial clichés would have helped this production.
