Interventions

10 MINUTE- A couple on a hike find their special plans interrupted by a succession of time travelers, each with a different message from the future.

INTERVENTIONS is a funny, fast paced romp about time travel, romance, and the consequences of decisions. Because time travel is hard, but parenting is harder.

  • Gina L. Grandi: Interventions

    One of my directing students worked with this play for their final showcase. This short play offers a real wealth of opportunities for acting and directing students in terms of character exploration and staging opportunities. Our students (director, actors, and audience) really loved seeing this relationship centered in its complexity. As the director said, it was "truly inspiring and beautiful as a young queer person."

    INTERVENTIONS by Greg Lam is big fun. Even if you haven’t researched the Tippet Equation. Even if you’ve never heard of it. Lam has a knack for taking genre scenarios (sci-fi, horror) and making them seem fresh through his skillful and imaginative handling of characterization. It’s no accident this time-travel gem is frequently produced. I look forward to reading more from this playwright.

    I love a play that can be interpreted so many different ways. Should these two be together or not? Why is this moment so important? So much fun and a great challenge for the actor playing the daughters!
