Almost An Evening consists of three short plays that "unsuccessfully tackle important questions." In "Waiting," someone waits somewhere for quite some time. In "Four Benches," a voyage to self-discovery takes a British intelligence agent to steam baths in New York and Texas, and to park benches in the U.S. and U.K. In "Debate," cosmic questions are taken up. Not much is learned.
No casting has been announced for the play's transfer, but original cast member Jonathan Cake is currently in previews in Atlantic's production of Parlour Song. In addition to Cake, the opening night cast of Almost An Evening included F. Murray Abraham, J.R. Horne, Jordan Lage, Mark Linn-Baker, Elizabeth Marvel, Mary McCann, Del Pentecost and Joey Slotnick.
The Off-Broadway transfer of Almost An Evening will be produced by Atlantic Theater Company and Art Meets Commerce Chip Meyrelles, Executive Director; Ken Greiner, Producing Director.
