JAMES McAvoy, Nigel Harman, and Lyndsey Marshal will star in the first West End revival of Richard Greenberg’s 1997 play, Three Days of Rain, which opens at the Apollo Theatre on February 10, 2009 (previews from January 30). It will run for a limited season - until May 2, 2009.
The play, which explores how the private worlds of one generation are reinterpreted by the next, follows Walker Janeway and his sister Nan who reunite for the reading of their father’s will in the Manhattan loft where he lived. A wealthy architect, Ned’s legacy is an iconic house designed with his late business partner Theo.
Walker and Nan are joined by Theo’s son Pip and together they discover Ned’s diary containing the mysterious words ‘three days of rain’, words that eventually take them back a generation.
McAvoy, who plays both Walker and father Ned, was last seen on the London stage in Breathing Corpses at the Royal Court in 2005 and appeared with Harman in Privates On Parade at the Donmar Warehouse in 2001. But BAFTA-nominated McAvoy is now best known for his big screen appearances which include the high profile films Atonement, The Last King Of Scotland, Wanted, Becoming Jane and Starter For Ten.
