WHEN IT RAINS....
A Musical Comedy
Is a story about Rachel & Tim, two thirty-somethings who belong to a local theatre group, Faresham Operatic Society"Pharaoh's".
Neither have much luck in the relationship department. Rachel, whilst successful in work, always picks the wrong guys and Tim who's frankly never really had any luck at all!
Both spend their evenings at the local theatre group where we follow the twists and turns of their lives as the Company prepare for their next production.
From all the feedback we received from audiences, "When it Rains..." encapsulates the world of amateur theatre with characters that are seemingly universal, in a funny, poignant way.

Then in 2008 a production at The Bull Theatre (London) the show was published and made available for amateur companies to stage with productions as far away as the Lake District.
