A play about the nuclear bomb testing in Los Alamos in the waning days of WWII. The characters are employed by the government, and are having a drink on the night of the testing, as they wait for their ride to the site. The discussion grows more philosophical, discussing life and death, war, and Native American spirituality. The concept of scientific ethics is explored in detail as the scientists debate the uses the government might find for their invention. They are aware that the government wants to use the bomb to end the war, and that Einstein has urged the president not to drop it on any cities (and been ignored); they still try to convince themselves that the government won't actually drop it on any inhabited areas, and that they are just going to prove that it won't actually work. Nothing they say on that count sounds convincing, probably because they are not convinced themselves. I have read so many anti-nuke plays recently, I didn't think this one could give me anything new, but the aspect of the Native American angle did give it a different feel; it was a different angle for a discussion that runs the risk of becoming trite in the telling and retelling.

In a ramshackle cantina in Los Alamos, New Mexico, on the night of July 15, 1945, four people await the test of the atomic bomb. Each of them is connected directly or indirectly with the top-secret Trinity project, and over the course of the evening the horror of what is about to be unleashed on the world begins to dawn on them. As tensions mount, and questions of science, religion and morality collide, RAIN DANCE makes palpable the thrilling and terrifying journey of our first steps into the atomic age.
