About

Woody Allen's vastly entertaining play that inspired the famous film of the same name, Play It Again, Sam follows the life of Allan Felix, a recent divorcé whose awkward interactions with women have forced him to rely on the advice of his hero, Humphrey Bogart. In this unique comedy, worlds collide as Allan attempts to navigate the unfamiliar territory of falling in love. An incredibly joyful play that echoes Casablanca, Play It Again, Sam captures the heart and follows Allan on his quirky, fantastic journey.

"Hilarious. A cheerful romp. Not only are Mr. Allen's jokes and their follow ups, asides and twists audaciously brilliant, but he has a great sense of character." - New York Times

"A funny, likeable comedy that has a surprising amount of wistful appeal." - New York Post
