Interior Set
One of the most popular romantic comedies of the century, Same Time, Next Year ran four years on Broadway, winning a Tony Award for lead actress Ellen Burstyn, who later recreated her role in the successful motion picture. It remains one of the world's most widely produced plays. The plot follows a love affair between two people, Doris and George, married to others, who rendezvous once a year. Twenty-five years of manners and morals are hilariously and touchingly played out by the lovers.
"Delicious wit, compassion, a sense of humor and a feel for nostalgia."-The New York Times
"Genuinely funny and genuinely romantic."-The New York Post

A play that take you on a roller coaster of emotions.,
By keithclarke01@aol.com (Shropshire, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Same Time Next Year (Paperback)
Described by one critic as "Not a work of genius". Sure, but that's what makes it all the more personal and absorbing. Not only have I read it, but I've directed the play. As we rehearsed we just kept finding more and more hidden gems withing the script. If you are not expereinced at reading plays then you will not get value for money. You have to put yourself in the minds of the two characters Doris and George. They start an affair in 1951 and then we follow their lives, in 5 year intervals, as they meet each year, for 25 years at the same hotel in California. She grows from dumb blond to successful business womana and he learches through angst, insucurity and the pain of losing his son and wife to knowing that he will always need Doris.Mr Slade had captured all the concerns and worries of 50's and 60's America from sex to religion to war. He delivers short punchy one liners and then allows the characters lengthy monologues building towards moments that make you cry or make you laugh. It's a powerful piece of drama if you read it right. It is, at the very least an enjoyable romantic comedy even if you read it wrong! Keith Clarke

Romance on the Coast,
By Denise P. Kalm - Published on Amazon.com
If you loved the movie, review the dialogue in detail in the original script. It is amazing how simple the words are, and yet, how compelling the love is. Nothing flowery is needed to really show romance and passion in a very believable and wonderful way.
