Ethan Coen's Triptych Almost An Evening Previews...Again
The off-Broadway Bleecker Street Theatre will host Ethan Coen's Almost An Evening, beginning previews for the show on March 20th.
The triptych (three short plays in one) originally debuted at the Atlantic Theater Company's Stage 2 on January 9th, playing a sold out run through to February 10th.
Directed by Atlantic artistic director Neil Pepe, Almost An Evening comprises 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."
The assemblage features F. Murray Abraham, Jonathan Cake, J.R. Horne, Jordan Lage, Mark Linn-Baker, Elizabeth Marvel, Mary McCann, Del Pentecost, and Joey Slotnick. Almost An Evening marks filmmaker Ethan Coen's off-Broadway debut as a playwright. The filmmaker is most famous for the partnership between him and his brother Joel, whom with he has made thirteen movies, including the Academy Award-winning Fargo, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Raising Arizona, Barton Fink, The Hudsucker Proxy, and The Big Lebowski. His most recent film, an adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's No Country for Old Men, scored four 2007 Golden Globe nominations and won four Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director, at this year's ceremonies.
The design team for Almost An Evening features scenic design by Riccardo Hernandez, costume design by Ilona Somogyi, lighting design by Don Holder and sound design by Eric Shim and fight choreography by J. David Brimmer.
