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?
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.
Samantha Joyce works at The Hill and she is good at her job as political aid for Senator Robert Gary: professional, hard working and on top of everything. Wouldn’t it be great to have the same in her personal life. Unfortunately she doesn’t. She has a pet fish who tries to commit suicide every time he gets, her apartment is a mess and she is in desperate need of some hugs and kisses from the male species.
And in comes Aaron. Cocky to be sure, but also very handsome and male. Sam falls for him immediately, even though he is working as speechwriter for the opposition. A minor fault in an otherwise flawless man. Happy times all around!
And in comes Charlie: the horrible (and oh yeah, cute) reporter who exploited her use of her Blackberry for his article.
Just when all the roles seem to be set and Sammy is happily juggling all the balls of life in the air, there has to be a disturbance. And there is…
Three women, Molly, Paige and Kate, all have some goals they still haven’t reached. So although they are content with their lives some things are missing. For Molly and Kate a reliable male mate is missing and Paige wants to be a deputy. When all the goals are in hands reach it all seems so easy to grab it all, but especially then life gets more and more difficult. All three women have to look at themselves (and their pasts) to get noticed by the others. A harsh but necessary task if they want true happiness and a full life.
