“A Hard Rain” explores the causes and effects of repression and marginalization.
Mafia run bars, police corruption and virulent homophobia come under the spotlight in Jon Bradfield and Martin Hooper’s poignant exploration of the circumstances leading up to the 1969 Stonewall riots, and the birth of the modern gay liberation movement.
The drama is set not in the infamous Stonewall Inn, but a neighboring, Mafia run joint – a pressure cooker of desire, anger and thwarted hope. As the lid is whipped off we’re thrown into a subculture that is finally demanding recognition. Being underground is no longer enough as the characters struggle to find new ways to negotiate intimacy and ideas of community.
