When Gabrielle breaks up with Klein he is so heartbroken that he decides to use the Time Travel Machine that is in his family\u2019s business to try to break things off earlier with Gabrielle, to spare himself the eventual heartache. Yet, every time he disappears back into the present\/future, something goes wrong, and he and Gabrielle are still together- still on the road toward likely\/potentially breaking up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The one thing that I would encourage playwrights Ned Petrie and David Tichauer to consider is whether they want this play to be a Farce or a heartwarming comedy with dramatic moments, because at the moment it is in a murky middle ground between the two. If the play is about the absurdity of chasing yourself through time, I wanted crazier, farcical antics. If the play is about saving the relationship between Klein and Gabrielle, I wanted more depth and intimacy into the couple and who these people were as individuals. Brian MacQuarrie gives a strong performance as Brian, the bar tender, but his narration bits are too long, and not really needed to propel the plot forward.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">TWISI Rating:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.twisitheatreblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/3-of-5-stars.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1997\" alt=\"3 of 5 stars\" src=\"https:\/\/www.twisitheatreblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/3-of-5-stars.jpg\" width=\"235\" height=\"54\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Love In the Time of Time Machines plays at DanSpace (1531 Grafton Street) at the following times:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>September 7 @ 6:30pm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tickets are $10.00 and are available in advance online\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/atlanticfringefest.eventbrite.com\/\">at this website<\/a>\u00a0or 30 minutes before each show at the venue on the day of the performance.
