This one-act play feels like a football-field-sized mural built by hand using Dominoes.
John Busser is brilliant in working out story, plot, character, and motivation in "Time Travelers Can Apply Yesterday" to such high precision. Busser's plays always have a heightened sense of wit, but this play reaches a new dimension. Read it once to revel in its story, read it several more times to enjoy the skill that makes it feel effortless.
And I love that for as finely tuned the play is, Busser creates a climax that is absolutely groan-worthy and low and a mess. Genius payoff. Genius.
