Inspired by both traditional and non-traditional rom-coms, writers Jim Barne and Kit Buchan created a “fresh, funny, ironic, and inventive” (The Observer) new musical that balances life’s sweetness and struggle, reminding us that brief interactions can make meaningful impact on our lives. Join A.R.T. at the The Brattle Theatre for screenings of some of the rom-coms that inspired Jim and Kit in writing Two Strangers: Richard Linklater’s Before trilogy, starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy.

Co-presented with The Brattle, which has been showing the best in classic, cutting edge, foreign, and arthouse films since 1953.
