DETAILS

ÜBER DAS STÜCK
N. Richard Nash, Harvey Schmidt und Tom Jones beleuchten in dieser musikalischen Adaption von Nashs Bühnenstück "The Rainmaker" Liebe und Hoffnung zur Zeit der großen Depression in den USA.

In der winzigen Stadt Three Point, im heißen und von Dürre geplagten amerikanischen Südwesten, verspricht der reisende Betrüger Bill Starbuck den lokalen Bauern, dass er den dringend benötigten Regen herbeirufen kann. Die alleinstehende Lizzie Curry, deren Annäherungsversuche von Sheriff File zurückgewiesen werden, erblüht, als sie eine romantische Beziehung zu dem charismatischen Fremden eingeht.
 
Zu den musikalischen Nummern gehören Love, Don't Turn Away, Little Red Hat, Simple Little Things, Everything Beautiful Happens At Night und Evenin' Star.

THE CURRY FAMILY

Lizzie Curry – At first glance, she seems a woman who can cope with all the aspects of life. She has the world of materiality under control; she is a good housekeeper; pots and pans, needles and thread – when she touches them, they serve. She knows well where she fits in the family – she is daughter, sister, mother, child – and she enjoys the manifold elements of her position. She has a sure ownership of her own morality, for the tenets of right and wrong are friendly to her – and she is comfortably forthright in living by them. A strong and integral woman in every life function – except one. Here she is, thirty-ish, and no man outside the family has loved her or found her beautiful. And yet, ironically, it is this one unfulfilled part of Lizzie that is the most potentially beautiful facet of the woman – this yearning for romance – this courageous searching for it in the desert of her existence… And if some day a man should find her, he will find a ready woman, willing to give herself with the totality of her rich being.
H.C. Curry – Lizzie’s father. He is in his late fifties, powerfully set, capable, a good man to take store in. But he’s not all prosaic efficiency – there’s a dream in him.
Noah Curry – Lizzie’s older brother. He is somewhat like his father, without H.C.’s imagination. As a matter of fact, he has little imagination at all and would appear to be self-righteous and rigidly opinionated, were it not for his basic decency and his warm yearning to be kind.
Jimmy Curry – Lizzie’s younger brother. In his early twenties but big and broad-shouldered, he looks older than his years until he opens his mouth; then he’s a child. He’s not sure that he’s very bright and this is his great cross. He is filled with inchoate longing.

ANDERE

Bill Starbuck – A big man, lithe, agile – a loud braggart, a gentle dreamer. He carries a short hickory stick – it is his weapon, his pointer, his magic wand, his pride of manhood.
File – The sheriff. He is a lean man, reticent, intelligent, in his late thirties. He smiles wryly at the world and at himself. Perhaps he is a little bitter; if so, his bitterness is leavened by a mischievous humor.
Snookie Updegraff – She is perhaps seventeen, and pretty and pretty, and pretty, and pretty, and pretty. Which is to say she is pretty.

TOWNSPEOPLE OF THREEPOINT

Toby – The middle aged stationmaster
Mrs. Jessen – Fat, middle-aged and good-natured
Phil Mackey – About nineteen
Tommy – A boy of eight
Belinda – A spectacled girl of nine
Geshy Toops – A man in his thirties
Gil Demby – A boy in his teens
Olive Barrow – A pretty girl
Wally Skacks – A boy in his late teens
Maurine Troops – A girl in her twenties
Bo Dollivon – A boy in his twenties
Mr. Curtis – A minister
Wally Skacks – An old man
