Evening Plays, three new dramas by award-winning playwright Richard Maxwell are a response to Dante’s
Divine Comedy.
The Evening centers around three archetypal barflies who together form an elegy of universal loss. The loss of a loved one seeps poignantly into his illustration of the stark reality and emotional tumult of coping with death.
Samara is a mythic tale of redemption that follows a messenger through a bleak frontier in his quest to collect a debt, though the human cost of the journey may be more than he bargained for. And
Paradiso, which takes place in the not-too distant future, describes three great loves: family, country and God.
