Almost an Evening is a series of three one act plays:
Waiting: Nelson is waiting in a waiting room without a door. How did he get there? How can he leave? How long before he can leave? Surely somebody will know, right?
Four Benches: One, a British secret agent, is literally and figuratively in the dark. He is not alone though. With him is at least a very naked Texan. But who else is there? And did anyone hear that shot as well?
Five women and one man come together every month to discuss a Jane Austen book. They are very different people with the love for Austen in common. Every month (is every chapter) another book is discussed at one of the group member’s home and the life story of that character is being highlighted in that particular chapter and throughout the story it becomes apparant everybody has had their own share of troubles, losses and other stuff that is common to life.
It is Dublin, it is Tuesday and for Harold, Paul, Donald and Mickey it is a different Tuesday than usual. A strange breeze is blowing over the river Liffey. A breeze that seems to have an effect on time, memories, hope and the normal order of life. Few people notice, but the aforementioned four do and they will have a Tuesday they will never forget, or remember. Meet Harold…
Eric is trying to summon a demon to get his three wishes granted. One day he succeeds, he has a demon in his little bedroom. Well, he thinks he has a demon, but actually he summoned Discworld’s wizard Rincewind and Eric gets more than what he bargained for.
Together they begin an adventure, and history lesson, through time, space and nothingness that will take them (literaly) to hell and back.
