A peculiar, unbelievable, yet possible love story about George and Doris.

In the restaurant of a small hotel on the Pacific coast, their eyes meet, and neither can resist the suddenly ignited feelings. Although family awaits them at home, they agree to meet again next year. At the same time, in the same place. That is how their unusual love affair begins. Years pass, they and the world around them change, and both go through various trials life throws their way, yet for more than 20 years one thing remains unchanged - every February they have one day and night in a hotel room, when they give in to open conversations and true intimacy.

The action takes place in California and spans the period from 1951 to 1975. The production is based on the play of the same name (1975) by Canadian playwright and screenwriter Bernard Slade, whose first staging at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre became a Broadway sensation. For this work, Slade received a Drama Desk Award and was nominated for a Tony Award. In 1978, the play was also adapted for the screen.
