Plenty of Time

What happens when a spoiled, southern debutant and a Black Panther fall in love?
It is 1968. Characters Corey and Christina meet in Oak Bluffs—a black section of Martha’s Vineyard. Over the next forty-three years, they meet on the same annual date to continue their – sometimes-illicit – affair. We follow Christina’s life as she attempts to become a best-selling author and a member of New York Society, and Corey’s as he enters the world of politics and suffers the joys and pains of fatherhood. “I fell in love with Same Time Next Year as a child, but for years I wanted to see our history unfold in a beautiful love story,” says Foster. “As such, Foster’s play is written to be uniquely African-American (yet universal) and, while it takes its concept from Slade’s play, “Plenty of Time” has its own voice and story.”
