The Do's and Don'ts of Time Travel

Recommended by

  • Cheryl Bear: The Do's and Don'ts of Time Travel

    A fascinating investigation into how we connect. When we have the ability to reenter the story at any point, why would it be when our loved one gets sick? What answers are we seeking and how do we deal? A brilliant look at the things we can't change and the memories we desperately cling to. Well done!

    Although the trappings may be sci-fi, the heart of this piece comes from the relationships between Zoey, her always-dying girlfriend Claire, and her time-travel-in-pop-culture-expert friend Rachel. Great roles for four strong women to perform, with thought-provoking questions about how we deal with the past, look to the future, and try to connect with another person when the outcome isn't always predictable. Fun, poignant, and beautifully written!
