Synopsis: Ada & Benedict are friends in their 20s, living in New York, who have only begun to realize they have romantic feelings for each other. Unfortunately, the timing couldn't be worse. Ada is a dancer and has just accepted a place in a touring company; she'll be leaving the city without the opportunity to give Benedict a chance. But Ada & Benedict are young, and life is long; they assume their paths will cross again. And in the meantime, who knows what wonderful things the world may have in store for them?
Revisiting Ada & Benedict twelve years later in San Francisco, and then twelve years after that in London, Three Cities is a play-with-dance revealing the ways in which the future can diverge from our youthful expectations.
