“With their macabre humor and dark sense of irony, the Coen Brothers’ films offer a distinctively skewed view of Americana, appropriating genres from screwball to noir to convey a bizarre world in which heinous things happen. A similarly twisted perspective—and a reference frame ranging from Beckett to Mamet—is applied in Ethan Coen’s first solo work for the theater, ALMOST AN EVENING, three short plays that swap planet U.S.A. for a more abstract universe in which philosophical, existential and metaphysical questions bounce around.” —Variety.
