Synopsis Yet, not everyone shares Rob’s resentment of Claudie. Rob’s sister-in-law believes Claudie is mentally ill and Rob’s mother seems to think him divinely inspired. But, what everyone acknowledges is that Claudie, whose exploits are legendary in the Buffalo hollow, has defined their lives. And even as Rob tries to repair his relationship with his mother, Claudie’s actions continue to drive them apart, until Rob realizes that only by coming to terms with Claudie can he hope to come to terms with his mother and ultimately himself. John Hayes of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette called RAIN IN THE HOLLOWS “brilliant” and said, “It’s impossible not to be drawn into a compelling story that explores the nuances of family dynamics.” And Nick Olcott of Washington’s Round House Theatre wrote that Rain in The Hollows has “strong, distinctive characters” and a “clear dramatic arc and powerful emotional depth”. He concluded by saying it is, “engrossing, thought-provoking . . . richly written and playable”.
