Last night was opening night for A Steady Rain, a two-character cop drama by Keith Huff, written years and years ago. So why is it on Broadway now? Simple. Because of the two cops: Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig.
Ben Brantley (of The New York Times) writes a review—‘A Sentimental Journey Over Brutal Terrain’—that unapologetically emphasizes the point that the two stars of the screen are in this play solely to sell tickets, to make money. And as we all can guess, they will do that job just fine.
On Jackman and Craig, Brantley tells it how it is: “…had they chosen to recite the alphabet in counterpoint (which might have been more fun), their joint appearance would still generate ticket sales.”
