REVIEW: A STEADY RAIN (Arcola Theatre)
A Steady Rain was written by Keith Huff who also wrote Mad Men and House of Cards. The 2009 Broadway production starred Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig. Stephen Spielberg will direct the film version with producer Barbara Broccoli. That’s some high expectation for this version at The Arcola Theatre. This 2015 stage production from East […]

The play tells the story of Eddie […]
