The production of “Almost, Maine” at Eventide was certainly lovely. The performance bills itself as a romantic comedy, yet stopping at such a characterization wouldn’t be appropriate. While it has couples navigating the requisite awkward silences of needing to say “I love you” or embracing the ambiguity in relationships, the play itself is so much more than what popular audiences may think of when they hear the phrase. Individually, each scene may seem akin to a 100-days-of Christmas special, but when pieced together, the play attempts to say something much more. Cariani’s play is a treatise on what it is to love, and Bishop’s adaptation certainly fits the bill.
