Climate stage: Andrew Bovell’s When the Rain Stops Falling is an intimate play with a vast setting. It’s 2039, and a catastrophic flood is coming that will end all life on Earth. Interweaving stories from four generations across two continents, the play showcases the lasting impacts of climate change and the damaging legacy left behind by patterns of abandonment and betrayal. UVA Drama’s rendition, directed by Marianne Kubik, features large-scale digital projections that both complement and disrupt the structure of the plot.
Through 11/20. $8-14, 8pm. Culbreth Theatre, 109 Culbreth Rd., UVA. drama.virginia.edu.
