Bernard Slade’s 'Same Time, Next Year' stands as an undisputed champion of mid-century American romantic comedy-drama writing, running for an astonishing 1,453 performances at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre following its historic 1975 premiere. The brilliant, structurally unique narrative unfolds entirely inside a quiet guest cottage room in Northern California, tracking George and Doris—two ordinary citizens married to other spouses—who meet for a single passionate weekend retreat once every year across a quarter-century, unpeeling changing alignments. Directed by Gene Saks, it starred Ellen Burstyn.
