Three Days of Rain

Three Days of Rain is a play by Richard Greenberg that was commissioned and produced by South Coast Repertory in 1997. The title comes from a line from W. S. Merwin's poem, "For the Anniversary of My Death" (1967). The play has often been called Stoppardian but Greenberg says he wasn't aware of Stoppard's work before he wrote the play but instead claims 1967 BBC series The Forsyte Saga was a much greater influence. Three Days of Rain was nominated for the 1998 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

Famous quotes containing the words days and/or rain:

    Yet they do have
    don’t they like us
    their days of grace, they
    halt, stretch, a vision
    breaks in on the cramped grimace,
    inscape of transformation.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    The task of an American writer is not to describe the misgivings of a woman taken in adultery as she looks out of a window at the rain but to describe four hundred people under the lights reaching for a foul ball. This is ceremony.
    John Cheever (1912–1982)
