The rain is very intresting as it dose give the play a greater length. I think that the story dose last a year, as that would make sence. It is also a lonelynes issue, that haveing lost his sight and being trapped the sounds outside are the only way that Ian can tell the passing of time, and if you listern you can hear the differnce between the rain in differnt seasons (though at the court last year instead of rain they had Static, perhaps the worse sound design I have ever herd and yes being a SD myself I am very critical) But really it is the sound of the rain that is the only sence of passing time that there is left.
