It’s the day before New Year’s Eve when two people meet at a concert. 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. With wry humor The Briefest Year tells a moving and realistic story about three people, two cultures, and one life-changing night.
