ABOUT THE PLAY
PLAYWRIGHT’S NOTES Almost, Maine Population: about 300 Median annual household income: about $25,000 Hours of daylight in mid-January: about 9 Average January temperature: 9 degrees Fahrenheit Almost, Maine is not a coastal town. It is nowhere near the ocean. And it doesn’t exit. It is a mythical composite of several northern Maine towns. Were it to exist, Almost would be located in the remote heart of Aroostook County, the sparsely populated, northernmost county in Maine, some two hundred miles northwest of the ocean, some three hundred miles north of Portland, ME, and some four hundred miles north of Boston, MA. Winters in Almost are long, cold and snowy. It often feels like winter up there from October to May. The area’s average annual snowfall is 115 inches. Winters can also be pretty bleak because the days are short and the town is in a rolling, empty land of wide open space and big sky. Potato farms dominate to the east; the expansive North Maine Woods are to the west. The northern lights are brilliant, ribbon-like, other-worldly displays of light. Northern Mainers are fortunate to live just inside the southernmost tip of a ring defining the area in which the northern lights regularly appear. The people of Almost, Maine are ordinary people. They work hard for a living. They are extremely dignified, honest and true. They are not sarcastic or glib. They speak simply, honestly, truly and from the heart. |
