ABOUT THE SHOW

New Jersey accountant George and Oakland housewife Doris meet at northern California inn. After a one-night affair, they agree to meet once a year, despite the fact that they are each married and have six children between them. Over the course of the next 24 years, they develop an emotional intimacy deeper than what one would expect to find in such a clandestine relationship, just once a year.

CHARACTERS
Note from Tara: 

As the action takes place over the span of 25 years, actors must be able to convey a large age range. The play begins in 1951 in a California seaside cottage, where Doris and George have a chance meeting and begin an affair that spans decades.  As the years go by, a relationship that began by attraction gives way to deep emotional connection and understanding.  

DORIS - A vulnerable and enchanting Catholic housewife from Oakland.  Throughout the play, Doris experiences personal self-growth and education, shifting from a housewife to a successful business owner.  Sweet and funny, she develops a confidence about her opinions on attraction, politics, money, and more as time passes.  

GEORGE - A neurotic and insecure accountant from New Jersey who is prone to mild ranting about marriage, children, and anything else that comes to mind. Over the years,he finds himself in a variety of careers, political leanings, and homes.  Although wildly attracted to Doris, he feels extremely guilty and, thus, is prone to telling little white lies.
