Some couples knowingly create opportunities for betrayal to flourish. Rain offers insight into some of the potential reasons behind that kind of self-destructive/cathartic activity. John (Malcolm Stoddard) and Janet (Cheryl Campbell) are one such couple. Into the mix walks an illiterate young guy named Billy (Ewan Stewart). Billy’s emotions become a casualty when placed between a semi-neurotic housewife and her accused husband.
Rain is my personal favourite of the three television plays made in 1980 that were written by Potter. (The others are
Blade on the Feather (1980) and
Cream in My Coffee (1980).) Both Stewart and Campbell play their parts flawlessly, fully deserving of maximum praise.
