It’s the day before New Year’s Eve when two people meet at a concert in this new play by Theater for the New City resident playwright Claude Solnik, Elizabeth Ruf, and Karl Bateman also directed by Elizabeth Ruf. A drummer and a fan, Charley and Bridget, get to know each other during and after a show at a Lower Manhattan venue, realizing that if they stay together a little more than a day, they will have been together a year.
They decide to see if they can have the longest date—and the briefest year. When Bridget encourages Charley to try to make peace with his estranged wife, Miko, in order to reconnect with his daughter, it’s not clear whether that will lay the groundwork for the future or plunge him back into past problems. With wry humor the experienced cast of “The Briefest Year” tell a moving and realistic story about three people, two cultures, and one life-changing night.
