The Hit Comedy
by Bernard Slade

Doris and George meet in 1951, a chance encounter in a Californian hotel that leads to a passionate one-night stand. Both are married to other people but, soon aware that this might be the start of something, they promise to meet 12 months later. So begins a lasting 25-year romantic love affair, filled with laughs, loss and change.

The play charts their lives through the ups and downs of parenthood, career highs and lows as well as the shifting fashions and morals of the passing decades.

“Delicious wit, compassion, a sense of humour and a feel for nostalgia” – The New York Times

One of the most popular romantic comedies of the century, Same Time, Next Year ran four years on Broadway, winning a Tony Award for Ellen Burstyn, who later recreated her role in the successful motion picture opposite Alan Alda. It remains one of the world’s most widely produced comedy plays.

Starring Natacha Curnow and Ben Simpson and directed by Peter Ross, don’t miss the inaugural fully-staged production from Tamworth’s own You’ll Miss the Tide Productions.
