transfers to a limited run at The Theatres at 45 Bleecker Street (45

In Ethan Coen's
Almost An Evening, three short plays
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 be nches in the U.S. and U.K. In Debate,
cosmic questions are taken up. Not much is learned.
Academy Award winning film maker Ethan Coen made his Off-Broadway
debut as a playwright with his production of short plays at Atlantic
Stage 2. He has made thirteen movies with his brother Joel, including
the Academy Award winning films
No Country for Old Men and Fargo; O
Brother, Where Art Thou?; Raising Arizona; Barton Fink; The Hudsucker
Proxy and The Big Lebowski. Atlantic artistic director
Neil Pepe
recently staged the current world premiere of Jez Butterworth's Parlour
Song, Harold Pinter's first and most recent plays, The Room and
Celebration at Atlantic, and the world premiere of
David Mamet's
Romance at Atlantic as well as at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles.
Johanna Day recently starred in the hit production of
Edward Albee's
Peter and Jerry Off-Broadway and was nominated for a Tony Award for
Proof on Broadway. Steppenwolf Theater Company member
Tim Hopper has appeared on Broadway in the revival of
Present Laughter, won an Obie Award for More Stately Mansions Off-Broadway, and starred on the HBO series "Oz."
