...dreams that must sustain them until their next meeting. Charles Grodin-of The Heartbreak Kid-and Ellen Burstyn-acclaimed for her performances in The Exorcist and Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore-are George and Doris. They are the only actors in the play. And though the California hideout and the idea behind it are hardly enough to make an original play, their performances turn Same Time, Next Year into a finely-tuned comedy...
