David Corenswet, François Arnaud and Yvonne Strahovski will star in a revival of Richard Greenberg’s Three Days of Rain this winter.
Anna D. Shapiro (Eureka Day, August: Osage County) will direct the play, which is set for February 2027 at a Shubert theater to be announced. The production marks the Broadway debuts for Arnaud, a breakout star of Heated Rivalry, and Corenswet, star of Superman and the upcoming Man of Tomorrow.
Strahovski, who played Serena Waterford on The Handmaid’s Tale, made her Broadway debut, for which she was Tony nominated, in the 2012 production of Golden Boy.
The play, which was a finalist for the 1998 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, follows three adult children who meet to settle their fathers’ estate, and, in the process, discover secrets about their parents’ lives. The play has had a series of very starry productions, with the last on Broadway in 2006, starring Julia Roberts, Paul Rudd and Bradley Cooper. That production was a hot ticket due to the stage debut of Roberts, even though it was not a hit with critics.
David Binder is producing the revival, with additional creative team and exact team members to be announced at a later date. Greenberg also penned Take Me Out, which was last revived on Broadway in 2022.
“‘Three Days of Rain’ is truly one of the most beautiful plays I’ve ever done or experienced. Steeped in the brilliantly funny and enchantingly complex world of Richard Greenberg, the story follows two generations of New York intelligentsia as they navigate the burden of family, the seduction of art and the necessity of love over time and eternity,” Shapiro said.
While this marks the Broadway debut for both Arnaud and Corenswet, Corenswet is a Juilliard graduate who stared in several stage productions as a young actor, and Arnaud has done extensive stage work in Canada, after training at the Conservatoire d’art dramatique de Montréal.
