About This Almost Joy:
Friendly, rumpled Professor Hart-Meadows, an actor in what he believes is a rather dull play, decides to break the fourth wall and speak directly to the audience, engaging them in a conversation about clouds and beauty and the nature of reality. This causes great upset for the other characters in the play, Sylvia and Bradley, for whom the play is the real world. The confrontation intensifies as Sylvia and Bradley's desire to save Prof. Hart-Meadows from madness bumps up against the Professor's quiet insistence on his own truth.
