We here at the Apple congratulate Adam Rothenberg for his recent turn in the world premiere of Keith Huff’s A Steady Rain. Between July 11th and the 23rd, Adam and co-star Josh Stamberg graced the Mainstage of Vassar College’s New York Stage and Film Festival under the direction of Trip Cullman. Described as “an urban tale of love and rage,” the play was inspired by events surrounding the crimes of Jeffrey Dahmer and chronicles “two Chicago cops, friends since childhood, and their competing accounts of the few harrowing days that changed their lives forever.”

A 2005 Perform Ink review of the script stated that:

The latest work by Chicago playwright Keith Huff is gripping. Along the way, the play asks questions about love and loyalty, family and friendship, power and control, what it means to be a cop, what it means to be a father. The characters are riveting from the moment they step out on the bare stage until the inevitable, tragic end.

We’re kicking ourselves for missing it.
