Show Overview

Rain Man was a blockbuster movie in 1988, starring Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise. The West End adaptation of this Oscar winning movie is by Dan Gordon and directed by Terry Johnson. The two stars are Josh Hartnett as Charlie and Adam Goodley as Raymond.

Rain Man is the story of the relationship between a Los Angeles car salesman, Charlie Babbitt and his elder Brother Raymond, who has autism and lives in a care home. Charlie is self centred and has never given a thought to the welfare of those around him and when he first goes to meet his brother, it is not because of love or loyalty but because he learns his father has left Raymond his fortune.

Gorden and Johnson, thankfully, did not try to recreate the road movie formula of the original movie but instead focus on the relationship between the two brothers who are mentally and socially polar opposites. Charlie who has led a hedonistic lifestyle in Los Angeles and Raymond whose insular life revolves around Judge Judy and TV quiz shows.

It is a sentimental journey that explores the brothers’ relationship from the initial uncertain meeting to frustration and fear and to the dawning realisation of love and understanding.

There is some fabulous acting, especially by Adam Goodley but Josh Hartnett certainly does himself no harm in his portrayal of Charlie. Rain Man will have you laughing and crying in turn and is thoroughly recommended by Concierge Desk.
