"Same Time, Next Year"-A Theme Thursday Post

Hello everyone! So today I noticed that this post is the 60th for this blog. Today's Theme Thursday is also "Clock" so I figured, 60th post+60 minutes (as in an hour)= important blogging moment :)

I thought about time and how we say it always passes so quickly or the opposite! Then two people came to mind. Two people that managed to 'fool' time and make it 'stop' even if it was just for two days, every year.

Of course I'm talking about my favorite theatre play (one of the many I enjoy). Its title is relevant to the theme, "same time, next year" (written by Bernard Slade). The 'people' I'm referring to are the heroes, George and Doris. Two characters living separate lives who, somehow, manage to make them parallel by meeting the same weekend of each year, in a hotel room.

The scene I found on YouTube (from the movie) is the reason I thought of this play for today. The fact that George's watch, when Doris asks the time, is "3 hours and 25 minutes fast"! Time is so relevant, isn't it? I mean would you wear a clock that doesn't work as it should? Are you obsessed with time or do you struggle to make time your friend?

The way I see it, one thing is certain. We can 'make time' by choosing what is important or not in our lives. Time keeps...ticking in that monotonous sound. However life is so much more than that and the sound is far from monotonous out there, in the real...clock!



Have a great day you all!
Peace and love
xoxo

THE (SECOND) BEST PLAY I ' V SEEN SO FAR!!


"Κάθε χρόνο ίδια μέρα" του Bernard Slade
Θέατρο Εγνατία-Θεσ/νικη (μέχρι και την επόμενη εβρομάδα).
'Πιθανώς η πιο πετυχημένη κωμωδία δύο χαρακτήρων που ανέβηκε ποτέ στο Μπροντγουαίη. Το "κάθε χρόνο ίδια μέρα" παίχτηκε για 1444 παραστάσεις και μαζί με το "Αρσενικό και Παλιά Δαντέλα" μοιράζεται την ένατη θέση στην κατάταξη των μακροβιότερων παραστάσεων.' - Από το πρόγραμμα της παράστασης.
Τώρα και στην Ελλάδα...
