“One of the absolute best plays I've been to see...intense and perfectly formed.”
 
“An outstanding production. I invited nine friends of varying ages and experience and all were moved and thoroughly engaged by this thought provoking production. Acting, set, effects, everything about this play was fantastic. Thank you to the Almeida for putting this on, the writer and the performers. Wonderful.”

 

"I was truly blown away.  It was my ultimate recipe for theatrical heaven - a beautifully written and enthralling story, deftly executed with wonderfully symbiotic casting...I could go on but it is enough to say that I spent most of the play with a lump in my throat yet still left feeling incredibly rewarded by the experience.”

 

"When the Rain Stops Falling was a masterpiece - I went to see it last week and have been thinking about it ever since; the completely believable acting, the script and the direction all brought a cleverly timed and crafted story. Right at the very end we had not guessed the final outcome - the pace of the play kept the audience guessing and thinking all the time. Well done - I cannot remember seeing such a wonderful production in a long time. Thank you.”

“One of the best plays I have seen for years”

 

“This is a stunning piece of theatre; emotional and poignant"

“I thought When the Rain Stops was an excellent production. I visited on recommendation of my parents who saw the production in Adelaide, and I took two friends with me and we all thought it was fantastic.”

 

“When the Rain Stops Falling was excellent! The play is remarkably well structured (reminded me of Stoppard) with no loose ends (the final one clicked into place as I was walking home). The cast are terrific and the set worked very well. Congratulations to all involved - a super evening.”

 

"A wonderful production. Good acting, interesting script thought provoking stage design"

 

"Brilliantly directed and acted. A memorable experience and a great piece of theatre.”

 

“Innovatively, put together. Thrilled by each twisted moment of thought-provoking plot.”

 

"A wonderful piece of theatre. Moving, thought provoking, beautifully directed and well acted. One of the best plays we have seen for quite a while and we go to the theatre a couple of times a month.”

 

“When The Rain Stops Falling was a brilliant production. I knew the play would be good by virtue of the fact it was written by Andrew Bovell but I was so impressed by how good it was. My family were over in London from Australia and it was the only production they saw. They were amazed at the quality of the performance and thrilled to have seen it. Would like to see it again.”

 

“This performance is the best one that I have seen the last years. Congratulations!”

 

“We thought that When the Rain Stops falling was amazingly good.  The theme of the play was imaginative, the dialogue faultless and the acting uniformly excellent. We have been telling everyone we know to go. Why have we not heard of this playwright before?"

 

“I thoroughly enjoyed this highly relevant production. It was a fascinating story demonstrating how the wrongdoings of the father affect generations. Everything I have seen at the Almeida so far was thought provoking and of high quality. Congratulations!”

 

"An amazing play - superb opening from Richard Hope which set the standard for the rest of the cast."

 

“Well what a wonderful production! AMAZING is all I can say! Great performances by a solid ensemble, interesting and effective design. It won't be my last visit to the Almeida Theatre. Congratulations to all!”
