A review of the London stage production,
By A Customer
This review is from: "Three Days of Rain" and Other Plays (Paperback)
I saw this play at the Donmar Warehouse in London as part of an American Imports season. Colin Firth, Elizabeth McGovern and David Morrissey expertly brought the text to life. Greenberg sets up a fascinating experiment with time and angles, showing just how strongly the actions and emotions of our parents eventually shape our adult lives. A great play and well worth a read.

Not quite a review . . .,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: "Three Days of Rain" and Other Plays (Paperback)
We saw the production of the play "Three Days of Rain" at the Steppenwolf theater in Chicago, IL. It was a tour de force of the American spirit, focusing on the cross-generational relationships between three characters as represented by first a brother, sister, and friend, and then their parents. If any of Greenberg's other plays even approach "Three Days of Rain," this book will be a must-read.

Saw the Steppenwolf Production,
By A Voice Teacher - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: "Three Days of Rain" and Other Plays (Paperback)
I saw the same production at Steppenwolf- what great writing. These characters are smart! Its a tight little peice, about our pasts, and what we know about our parents, being an artists. All of those big themes- you'd think it would be cumbersome. But this is a great play- can't wait to see what the regional theatres do with it, and can't wait to read more by Greenburg.

A great new writer,
By Kevin Brianton - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: "Three Days of Rain" and Other Plays (Paperback)
Wouldn't you have liked to go to the theatre to see the crucible without knowing that it was a classic. Watching three days of rain was the first time I went to the theatre unaware of anything about the play and then realising that I was watching one of the greatest plays ever written unfurl around me. The play is at times witty or sad or profound, but it is always real and Greenberg shows the links between the past and the future and the impossibility of knowing or understanding the forces that drove your parents. We get a picture of the parents and it is shaken apart in the second half. Three days of rain is a truely great piece of theatre.
