According to stageagent.com, a woman carries her heart, broken into 19 pieces, in a small paper bag. A man shrinks to half his former size after losing hope in love. A couple keeps the love they have given each other in large red bags, or compress the mass into the size of a diamond.
These playful and surreal experiences are commonplace in the world of John Cariani’s Almost, Maine, where one deeply, cold and magical Midwinter Night, the citizens of Almost --- not organized enough for a town, too populated for a wilderness -- experiences the life-altering power of the human heart. Relationships end, begin, or change beyond recognition, as strangers become friends, friends become lovers, and lovers turn into strangers.
