David Corenswet, the actor who most recently portrayed Superman on film, and François Arnaud, who gained a wide following playing Scott Hunter in the streaming series “Heated Rivalry,” will both make their Broadway debuts in a revival of Richard Greenberg’s “Three Days of Rain,” producers announced Thursday.
The cast will also include Yvonne Strahovski, known for her role in “The Handmaid’s Tale.” The production is set to begin performances in February 2027 at a Shubert theater to be announced. It marks the first Broadway revival of Greenberg’s play, which was originally nominated for three Tony Awards following its 1997 premiere.
Anna D. Shapiro, the Tony-winning director of “August: Osage County” and the recent Broadway hit “Eureka Day,” will direct the production.
“Three Days of Rain is truly one of the most beautiful plays I’ve ever done or experienced,” Shapiro said in a statement Thursday. She described the work as “steeped in the brilliantly funny and enchantingly complex world of Richard Greenberg,” noting the story follows “two generations of New York intelligentsia as they navigate the burden of family, the seduction of art and the necessity of love over time and eternity.”
The play follows two acts set 35 years apart, with the three actors each playing two roles — one in the present-day storyline and one in the prior generation. The structure allows the same performers to portray both adult children of three architects in the first act and the architects themselves as young adults in the second act, set in 1960.
Corenswet is the most recent actor to portray Superman on screen, starring in the 2025 film “Superman: Legacy.” Arnaud emerged as a leading man in the hockey romance series “Heated Rivalry,” which became a streaming hit over the winter. Strahovski is widely recognized for her Emmy-nominated performance as Serena Joy Waterford in Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale.”
