The Following Evening NYC Reviews and Tickets

See it if An elegiac contemplation of impermanence—in theater, in New York, and in life. Moving, lovely, and thoughtful.

Don't see it if Don’t go looking for a traditional narrative arc. This is part memoir, part theatrical experiment. But entirely worth consideration.

See it if Supposedly this is experimental theater but I thought it was just exceptional theater.

Don't see it if You are not interested in a performance with mostly 2 actors talking about their careers as actors in New York City.

See it if you want train-of-thought musings on the ephemeral nature of things (performance, NYC & its occupants, memory, life).

Don't see it if you want plot (linear or otherwise) and certainty about what you're watching. Read more

See it if you have fond memories of experimental downtown theater of the 60s or are a friend/relative of the 4 actors in this play

Don't see it if you like your theater with a direction, relatable & substantial; don't like to see pointless, graceless movement of non-dancers on stage Read more

See it if you like avant-garde plays where the playwright goes out of their way to make sure that the show is different and unusual

Don't see it if You are expecting a straight forward play. Read more

See it if you're interested in how people create things, especially theater, and if you're interested in how people can continue to stay creative.

Don't see it if you don't care about the process of creating, or the lives of creators.

See it if you, like me, have loved Talking Band for decades & want to see Zimet+Maddow reflect on their lives+legacy, in collab w/ Browde+Silverstone.

Don't see it if you, like me, hoped for a piece that dug much deeper. The choice was to find poetry in banality, but I yearned to hear and feel much more.
