WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Rain Dance takes place in Los Alamos, New Mexico, 1945, on the eve of the birth of the atomic bomb. Amidst the tranquil beauty of the desert, four individuals involved in the historic project count down to its inevitable conclusion. As the culmination of their work approaches, each wrestles with the weight of responsibility for an event that will change the world forever. James Van Der Beek, Randolph Mantooth, Suzanne Regan, and Harris Yulin star in the New York premiere of Lanford Wilson's play, directed by Guy Sanville.
