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, THE FOLLOWING EVENING is a tribute to theater – an art form that vanishes – and the people who are devoted to it.
