Almost, Maine 2019
Almost, Maine is a play in two acts, and is comprised of a prologue, a four-scene first act, an interlogue, a four-scene second act, and finally an Epilogue. The title refers to an imagined town in Northern Maine, named Almost, that the playwright, John Cariani, writes, “doesn’t quite exist." Each scene consists of at least two main characters, and, aside from the Prologue, Interlogue, and Epilogue, none of the characters onstage repeat (though some are mentioned tangentially in later scenes).
The Prologue (and later the Interlogue and Epilogue) features two characters, Pete and Ginette.
Act One, Scene One, titled “Her Heart,” features an out-of-town hiker, Glory, and a man named East.
Act One, Scene Two, “Sad and Glad,” follows Jimmy and Sandrine, and their waitress Villian.
Act One, Scene Three, “This Hurts,” follows a conversation between Steve and Marvalyn.
Act One, Scene Four, “Getting It Back,” which concludes Act One, with Gayle showing up at Lendall’s.
The Intermission ends with the Interlogue.
Act Two begins with Scene Six, “Where It Went,” Phil and Marci, a married couple, are having an argument.
Act Two, Scene Seven, “Story of Hope,” opens with a woman, Hope, looking to find a man named Daniel.
Act Two, Scene Eight, “Seeing the Thing,” is the final full scene of Act Two, and follows the developing relationship between Dave and Rhonda.
The play ends with the Epilogue, featuring Ginette and Pete once again.
