The Following Evening
Created by 600 Highwaymen for Talking Band
Written and Directed by
Abigail Browde and Michael Silverstone
Featuring
Ellen Maddow and Paul Zimet
A unique collaboration between two theater-making couples a generation apart.
The Following Evening is an intimate portrait of two artists creating what may be their final performance together, set against the landscape of New York, a city of perpetual loss and renewal. A unique collaboration between two theater-making couples a generation apart – Ellen Maddow and Paul Zimet of Talking Band, and Abigail Browde and Michael Silverstone of 600 Highwaymen – this affecting new work is a tribute to theater – an art form that vanishes – and the people who are devoted to it.

Just when you thought you might be getting a little cynical about the theater…think about 600 Highwaymen.

The Talking Band is one of the boldest and most venerable politically minded companies in New York Experimental theater.

600 Highwaymen
600 Highwaymen (Abigail Browde & Michael Silverstone) have been making performances since 2009. Their work – existing at the intersection of theater, dance, contemporary performance, and civic encounter – illuminates the inherent poignancy of people coming together.
Talking Band
Ellen Maddow and Paul Zimet are founding members of Talking Band, which is celebrating its 50th Anniversary. Their company’s interdisciplinary performance work has been a cornerstone of New York City’s avant-garde theater community.
