Rain Man

Hollywood screen star Josh Hartnett will make his West End debut in the stage adaptation of the 1988 Oscar-winning film Rain Man, which will play the Apollo Theatre August 28-December 20, with an opening on September 9. David Grindley will direct.

Relationships are anathema to Charlie Babbitt, a self-centered Los Angeles-based car dealer and hustler. Raymond is the elder brother Charlie never knew he had, an autistic genuis who has been hidden  in an institution for most of his life. When Raymond is released into Charlie's care, Charlie harnesses Raymond's genius to save his business and the brothers embark on a rollercoaster journey beyond the hospital gates.

The play will be staged at the Apollo Theatre: www.apollo-theatre.co.uk
