One of the world’s most popular and widely produced romantic comedies, Same Time, Next Year, originally opened on Broadway in 1975, where it played for four years and won a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding New American Play. Bernard Slade later adapted his witty and touching script for the screen, starring Alan Alda and Ellen Burstyn.

Doris and George meet in 1951, a chance encounter in a restaurant that leads to a passionate one-night stand. Alas, they are both happily married with children – to other people – and although they are terribly guilt-ridden, there is an irresistible spark between them and they agree to meet up again “same time, next year”. Thus, begins a touching love affair lasting over 25 years, during which the pair develop a deep emotional intimacy in their brief yearly trysts. As their relationship plays out through time, we witness the likeable lovers go through shifting fashions and morals, phases of life, the challenges of parenthood and career highs and lows.
