- Synopsis
- In its recent off-Broadway debut, "Almost an Evening" dazzled audiences with its pitch-perfect dialogue and caustic wit, harking back to the "mind-teasing divertisements that once flourished Off-Broadway" (Ben Brantley, "New York Times"). Here are three visions of hell, at once urbane and seriously hilarious. In "Waiting," a man impatiently awaits his transition from this world to an otherworldly dimension. In "Four Benches," a British secret service agent confronts death in a steam bath. And "Debate" features a metatheatrical battle between Old and New Testament gods mixing profane philosophy with profound profanity. For theater buffs, cineastes, and short-story devotees, "Almost an Evening is as readable as fiction, as engaging as film, and as charming as hell.
