Story

Denny and Joey are lifelong friends and partners in the Chicago police force. Denny's settled with a seemingly ideal home life, complete with wife and kids, while Joey lives alone, drinks too much and can't land a girlfriend. In the course of the play, the two men tell their differing takes on a dangerous journey on the dark side of the streets of the city that puts them face-to-face with a serial killer and pushes their loyalties to the limit.

Reviews

A collection of our favorite reviews from professional news sources.

"Jackman is vastly appealing. Craig adeptly suggests a measure of slightly scary intensity boiling just under a seemingly placid lid."

New York Post

Elisabeth Vincentelli

"Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman confidently hold the stage. Mr. Jackman is a incorrigibly likeable entertainer. Mr. Craig registers large and lucid. Mr. Crowley directs this hot-ticket limited run with restraint and elegance."

The New York Times

Ben Brantley

"Jackman and Craig burn with star power. The pair of superstars ooze confidence and charisma in this stirring hour-and-a-half closeup. Guided by the first hand of John Crowley, Jackman is tightly wound and highly charged. Craig impresses."

Daily News

Joe Dziemianowicz

"Riveting theater. In John Crowley's taut, arresting production, Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman have charisma and command. Jackman brings powerful presence and natural warmth, shifting persuasively between easygoing volubility and unpredictable menace. Completely disappearing inside his character, Craig is superb and extremely moving."

Variety

David Rooney

"A cop thriller with fevered pacing, plot twists, gritty violence and star power!"

NY1

Roma Torre

"Jackman and Craig shine through 'Rain.' Under John Crowley's expert direction, their unfussy virtuosity is affecting, and they exchange barbs with the acerbic ease of an expert comedy team. It's hard to imagine a better vehicle for two actors who clearly don't need larger-than-life characters to deliver grand performances."
