"I remain in awe of Sal Viscuso and Thomas Vincent Kelly...Theirs is a classic noir love triangle—updated to the mean streets of the modern day...No doubt about it: Huff's a gifted writer." —Wendell Brock for AJC

A Steady Rain is a harrowing and intimate story of two Chicago policemen pushing their moral boundaries to the breaking point. Joey and Denny have been best friends since kindergarten and now are practically family—Joey helps out with Denny's wife and kids; Denny keeps Joey away from the bottle. Sharing a squad car, the two men bond together against an increasingly violent and deeply troubling inner city.

Scorching drama with haunting performances and edge-of-your-seat dramatic tension 

From playwright Keith Huff, a writer and producer of ABC's American Crime, Syfy’s Helix, AMC’s Mad Men, and the Netflix series House of Cards, A Steady Rain is directed by Steppenwolf Theatre Company co-founder Jeff Perry, well known for his role as Cyrus Beene on the hit TV series Scandal.
