RAIN MAN
adapted for the stage by Dan Gordon

Charlie Babbitt is in crisis. His business is about to go under, his girlfriend, Susan, is going to leave him and he’s just learned that his father has died, leaving his $7 million fortune in trust to an unknown beneficiary.

Charlie’s journey to claim his inheritance begins at the Wallbrook Institution where he discovers Raymond, an autistic savant with an extraordinary gift for numbers, who happens to be his older brother. What begins as a kidnapping attempt leads Charlie and Raymond on a road trip of discovery beyond the hospital gates and into a world of love and understanding.

Alex Dimitriades & Daniel Mitchell star in this intimate adaptation of the Oscar winning film about two brothers who find themselves in each other.
