    This play is so good it gives me fucking goosebumps. A gorgeous look at our present by looking to the past. This play is a gift to sound designers.

    Thomas’ script is intimately epic, recreating a Philadelphia that is vivid even for those who have not spent a day there in many years, in which queer millennial characters have messy reactions as they discover just how little they know of the history of gay and lesbian life before the AIDS crisis, before Stonewall, in a city that is neither New York nor San Francisco, when “queer” was still exclusively a slur, when the closet was often the safest choice even for people who knew exactly who they were and whom they loved.

    A beautiful story, which captivates the audience with a tantalizing and engaging mystery. Filled with depth, humor, surprising & imaginative dialogue, enjoyable characters, and a heartbreaking historical truth. Fresh and poignant. A bright and shiny gem.

    I’m a big fan of Thomas’s work at Elle, and that, combined with the synopsis of this play, got me excited to read it. And I was not disappointed! TIME IS ON OUR SIDE asks big, important questions about history’s role in the present and who gets to tell what stories, and wraps them in dialog that made me literally laugh out loud. I know these characters, and I want to be their friends and live in their world long after the play ends. I hope I get to see a production of this script someday!
