Rain: A Play in Three Acts

On a remote South Pacific island, a storm brews-not just in the skies, but in the souls of those stranded by fate. When a group of travelers is marooned due to unrelenting rain, tensions rise as clashing ideals and hidden desires come to light. Among them is the enigmatic and seductive Sadie Thompson, whose scandalous presence sparks a battle of wills with the rigidly moralistic Reverend Davidson. As the rain pours down, each character is forced to confront the tempest within, culminating in an explosive clash of hypocrisy, passion, and redemption.

Based on W. Somerset Maugham's provocative short story "Miss Thompson" this gripping play adaptation brings to life a timeless tale of human frailty and moral ambiguity. Lauded for its bold exploration of taboo themes and unforgettable characters, "Rain" continues to captivate audiences with its stormy intensity and enduring relevance.

This edition preserves the full text of the original play, offering a powerful glimpse into the complexity of human nature and the ever-changing tides of morality.
