"I was at home and waited for the rain" tells about five women (sisters, mother, grandmother), who had been waiting for many years for brother, son, granddaughter. The lives of women all this time as if stopped, stuck ... Now he returned and lying in his bed. Projection of expectations?
"It seemed beautiful to me that the play is unfinished, that it has more pauses than the action. It opens up space for interpretation, arouses the desire to think about the nature of love, sacrifice, truth. the theme of waiting. ” (Catherine Siaurusaitytė)

I was at home and waited for the rain to come
I looked at heaven as always,
Far away from the road.
I always watch in the evenings, always standing up in the evenings
I would be on the doorstep and wait, I wait…
I waited for the rain to come and moisturize the earth, the trails, the grass
and will calm us down.
(Jean-Luc Lagarce., "I was at home and waited for the rain".
