Sadie Green and Sam Masur become friends at ages 11 and 12 because they both love video games, and they both aspire to make one someday. When they create the wildly successful game Ichigo a decade later as college students, their lives are changed forever, for better and for worse. Based on Gabrielle Zevin’s novel, Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow is a meditation on “the multifarious nature of identity, disability, failure, [and] the redemptive possibilities in play,” as well as a multifaceted love story. It examines how platonic love, romantic love, and love for one’s creative passions combine to create thrilling lives and gameplay experiences (Zevin, book jacket).
