Same Time, Next Year
2787 B State Street, Carlsbad, 92008
Melissa and Manny Fernandes, real life mates, perform with the fluidity and timing of a matched set. In some the play's more comic moments, they recall Desi and Lucy, in others, George and Martha.Though married, and not to each other, Doris and George meet every year at an inn in Mendocino, from 1951 to 1975. How they can hold such a serial relationship together doesn't bother the playwright, Bernard Slade. He gives glib, sitcom answers and shows how the times, and the twosome, are always a-changin. The play's a one-and-donner (a return visit exposes its tricks), but to watch the Fernandes work is a joy, especially since their "work" is invisible.
Worth a try.
