Almost, Maine
Directed by Patrick Williams

Genre: Romantic Comedy

Almost, Maine is a play by John Cariani, comprising nine short plays that explore love and loss in a remote, mythical almost-town called Almost, Maine. It premiered at the Portland Stage Company in Portland, Maine in 2004, where it broke box office records and garnered critical acclaim.

“John Cariani’s Almost, Maine is a series of nine amiably absurdist vignettes about love, with a touch of good-natured magic realism .… This is a beautifully structured play, with nifty surprise endings.” The New York Times

“Mega-hit Almost, Maine lands somewhere between Norman Rockwell and ‘Our Town.’ Unabashedly unhip. There is no pretense of an edge here — the show offers a sweetness and decency that’s become rare at the theater. At this point, it’s a welcome breath of fresh air.” The New York Post

“Almost, Maine’s charm is real. [It] packs wit, earns its laughs, and, like love, surprises you.” The New York Daily News
