Synopsis:
When 16 year old Charlie Babbit borrows his dad's car, he calls the cops. Determined to make it on his own, Charlie leaves.
When his dad dies, Charlie gets the car and some rose bushes - but not the money. Hot on the trail of the cash Charlie discovers an unkown autistic brother, Raymond with an extraordinary talent for numbers. Intent on saving his business, Charlie takes Raymond on a rollercoaster journey involving Las Vegas, gambling, learning to dance, and kissing. Raymond discovers a world beyond the hospital gates and Charlie, the meaning of unconditional love.
Based on Barry Morrow's original Oscar winning screenplay and re-imagined for the stage by Dan Gordon and director David Grindley, the play examines the nature of love, understanding and connection. Leading the cast in this funny, heart-warming and touching contemporary story is Hollywood movie actor, Josh Hartnett in his West End debut as Charlie and Olivier nominated actor, Adam Godley as Raymond.
Rain Man Reviews:
Hollywood screen star Josh Hartnett
will make his West End debut in the premiere stage adaptation of
the 1988 Oscar-winning film Rain Man, which opens on 9 September
2008 (previews from 28 August) at the Apollo Theatre,
Shaftesbury Avenue, where it’s booking for a limited season to
20 December. Hartnett will play Charlie Babbitt, the part taken on screen
by Tom Cruise, with British stage actor Adam Godley as Raymond,
his autistic savant brother, the part for which Dustin Hoffman
won a Best Actor at the Oscars. The film also numbered amongst
its four Academy Awards the all-important prize of Best Picture.
