Originally produced on Broadway in 1956, Michael V. Gazzo's A Hatful of Rain is one of the earliest plays after World War II to address substance abuse and its destructive effect on personal relationships. This striking portrayal of love and addiction broke new ground for its depiction of realism in the theater.

Unless the performance I saw on 9/5 was a spoof of an "Amature Night in Dixie's" performance of Gazzo's chestnut, this was the worst play I have seen in several seasons. The acting or overacting was ridiculous and the whole thing often seemed to devolve into a vaudville farce. The director should keep his day job. Katselas must be turning over in his grave. Shame...shame.
Gia.P.S.If there was a-5 I would offer that rating.

Professional cast performing intense, difficult story. I was impressed with the characters of the brother Polo and the wife Celia, but mostly the actor that played Mother - the drug dealer - really caught my attention. He was realistic and handled the role with aplomb, without going over the top. Very convincing and creepy, I wouldn't want to know this man!
