Description Ray, Emily and Charlie have been the best of friends since university. As students, Ray and Emily bonded over their mutual adoration of the Great American Songbook, while Emily fell in love with Ray's roommate, Charlie despite his terrible taste in music. Nearly thirty years later, Emily and Charlie are happily married and there's always a bed for Ray at their place when he visits from overseas. But on Ray's latest sojourn, Charlie has a favour to ask that could change everything.

Directed by Simon Phillips, with book by Carolyn Burns and original songs by Tim Finn, Come Rain or Come Shine is an MTC NEXT STAGE commission. A funny, bittersweet ode to the bonds that tie us together, even when life seems more cloudy than sunny, its sure to be a cherished adaptation of a remarkable literary gem.
