当这部黑色喜剧开始时，Carmichael，一个缺失左手的男人，在一个破旧的酒店房间里安顿下来。一对年轻的骗子答应卖给他他所丢失的左手。同时，这家酒店的前台不断地进入房间，罗嗦一些仿佛故意激怒其他三个角色的事情。如果不透露马丁·麦克唐纳狡猾的剧本中所蕴含的一些惊喜，就无法对剧情进行更多的描述。

A Steady Rain is a play by Keith Huff. With a plot similar to a real-life event involving Jeffrey Dahmer, it focuses on two Chicago policemen who inadvertently return a Vietnamese boy to a cannibalistic serial killer who claims to be the child's uncle. When he later becomes the man's latest victim, the lifelong friendship of the two men is threatened when it becomes clear someone must bear responsibility for their egregious failure to assess the situation accurately. The play alternates between two separate monologues and present-moment dialogue scenes. Following readings in New York City and Los Angeles, A Steady Rain was staged by Chicago Dramatists in 2007. It opened on Broadway in September 2009.　　

All the action takes place in a swish London restaurant where two coarse-grained strategy consultants are dining with their respective wives. At an adjacent table a banker and his wife banter over his recently discovered affair. But while Pinter gets a lot of laughs out of these gold-plated philistines, he also suggests they are displaced people. Shorn of any inherited values, they live in an eternal present of sex, food and conspicuous consumption. - Michael Billington, Guardian
