With The Evening, award-winning playwright/director Richard Maxwell takes his minimalist, unaffected theater to a new sculptural place on stage. Tragic, comic, and unexpected, this elegiac and musical work probes the lives, desires, and dreams of three denizens of a dive bar—a fighter past his prime, his manager, and a bartender. The Evening unfolds with monologue, fiction and live music as the story transforms into a living, breathing, autonomous thing. Although rich with sublimated humor and magnified nuance, Maxwell’s theater works are noted for their non-emotive acting style coupled with an extreme form of neutrality in direction. Circular conversations, fractured silences, and deadpan absurdity permeate his works, yet one never suspects lurking parody or satire. Instead, the result is a sophisticated, surprisingly moving rendering of the human condition laid bare.
