By Ethan Coen

Directed by Darren Evans

Presented by Theatre on Fire; Darren Evans, Artistic Director, and the Charlestown Working Theater.

The evening in question consists of three light plays on weighty topics. In Waiting, a dead man waits, waits, waits...then waits some more to grab the shuttle to Heaven; in Four Benches, a British secret agent visits steam baths and park benches on a less-than-successful journey to reinvent himself; and in Debate, cosmic and not-so-cosmic questions are raised. Little is learned.

Almost an Evening was first performed in a limited run at Atlantic Theatre Company's Stage 2 in New York City on January 22, 2008, before transferring Off-Broadway to The Theatres at 45 Bleecker Street. The original cast featured F. Murray Abraham, Joey Slotnick, and Mark-Linn Baker, among others.

Ethan Coen is an iconic filmmaker who is responsible, along with his brother Joel, for such films as Blood Simple, Raising Arizona, The Big Lebowski, Fargo, O Brother Where Art Thou?, and the recent multiple Academy Award winner No Country for Old Men.
