Description
Set in the time of a paralyzing drought in Depression-era America, The Rainmaker tells the story of a pivotal hot summer day in the life of spinsterish Lizzie Curry, whose father and two brothers are worried as much about her marriage prospects as they are about their dying cattle. Enter Starbuck, the consummate con man, who promises to solve all their problems, for a fee. The Rainmaker is a captivating classic, guaranteed to break your heart and then fill it with hope. The Rainmaker was written by N. Richard Nash in the early 1950s. It premiered on October 28, 1954, at the Cort Theatre in New York City, and ran for 125 performances.
