The war fought abroad is just as devastating as the war fought within. This rings devastatingly true for Johnny Pope, a Korean War Veteran who has safely returned home to New York City and now struggles with drug addiction after being heavily medicated during his hospital stay. Greg Naughton, founded and served as Artistic Director of Off-Broadway’s Blue Light Theater Company in NYC for six award-winning seasons. He is also James Naughton’s son and is making his BTG directorial debut with A Hatful of Rain.
In A Hatful of Rain, Johnny’s battle strangles his daily life and slowly deteriorates the relationship between him and his family as he attempts to hide and support his habit. His brother, Polo tries to help but there’s only so much he can do. His pregnant wife, Celia is convinced he’s having an affair and tries to hold their faltering marriage together while their father’s visit only adds to the tumultuous downturn of Johnny’s life. Gazzo’s raw, insightful and carefully crafted storytelling depict the demise of an embattled soul and raises social consciousness on issues regarding addiction and the cost of war for our veterans.
