'Almost An Evening' Begins Previews: Cast Photos

Ethan Coen's series of three one act plays unsuccessfully tackle important questions:

Waiting – Someone waits somewhere for quite some time. Four Benches – His 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. Debate – Cosmic questions are taken up. Not much is learned.

Almost An Evening, directed by Atlantic artistic director Neil Pepe, sold out before previews began on January 9, opened on January 22, and played a limited engagement through February 10, 2008 Off-Broadway at Atlantic Stage 2 (330 West 16th Street).
