Poche Beach, San Clemente, California: Summer of ’65. Two young surfers wait for a third,
unsure about what might have happened to him in the course of a mysterious crime.
Two young women show up, looking for a ride to a magical rock concert. Summer Rain is
a dark fable about surfing, mystical ambition, homophobia, sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll, set over a single night on a lonely patch of sand.

Writer-Director Robert Coe has had two productions open the NEXT WAVE FESTIVAL at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. He also wrote the first new play ever produced at the La Jolla Playhouse in California. He has had new plays commissioned by Mabou Mines, BAM and Music Theater Group. His book for the American production of the Tim Rice-ABBA musical CHESS toured the country, as did one of his BAM productions.
