Same Time, Next Year

Press Review


By Bernard Slade

 

Laughter, Tears, Romance, Friendship Once a Year. It's Irresistible!

 

George and Doris, two well-intentioned, ordinary people meet by accident when they stop over at a country motel en route for their separate appointments the following day.

 

Something sweet and unexpected happens that weekend - and it keeps happening for the next 25 years!

 

From their initial unplanned, sexual encounter, we see George and Doris in five year increments. Times change. They change.

 

Against a background of social and political upheaval, from the Eisenhower era to the coming of the Beatles and the end of the Vietnam War, George and Doris develop a deep relationship that carries them through both the triumphs and troubles of their respective family lives.

 

Funny and poignant.

Repertory is delighted to present this award-winning play with two of New Zealand's top professional actors in the lead roles.

 

Eilish Moran and Ross McKellar, who last performed together in the Court's sell-out season of Homeland, share the stage again in Same Time, Next Year in the unique Celebration Theatre, a luxurious, heated theatre marquee, Hagley Park.
