Recommendations of Time Travelers Can Apply Yesterday

  • Tom Moran: Time Travelers Can Apply Yesterday

    More confusing than "Tenet" and much funnier. Busser's head-spinning premise leads to a play that is hilariously befuddling, and it's a hoot to be along for the ride.

    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.

    There's a lot to recommend in this rapid-fire, mind-twisting, anarchic comedy. The unexpected twists and endless one-liners escalate at a wild pace, giving it a Marx Brothers quality. One of the funniest gems I've discovered on NPX--it's astounding to me that this hasn't been widely produced and published.

    Well, this will be fun now that I've read it next week. I will laugh a lot at Busser's wit, and I marveled at how he kept all of the various time-traveling moments so clearly organized throughout. Mind blowing. At least it will be. Or has already been. I don't care. I loved this play yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
