Time Hole

by Erin Proctor

Dr. Lior Cohen, a time traveler, is tasked with reviving a decimated ecosystem in a not too distant future. While in the 7th century researching horticulture, they meet Clothilde: a Frankish peasant girl. Emotions too often get in the way of ethics.

    Proctor has a unique talent for walking the line between absurdly hip and silly, and poignant, earnest and sweet. This is a boss time-travel story with plenty of humor and smarts, but at its core a heartfelt story of relationships both romantic and filial. Highly recommended!

    Funny and charming, this is a play that will have you laughing out loud while contemplating the ways we can become so consumed in the acting of loving that we fail to actually see the person we're meant to love and what's best for them. Plus there's time travel.

    This play is a goddamned delight. I literally love everything about this play. Its subtleties, its soliloquies, its condemnation of the future we're headed towards, its love of Doritos, I could go on. In a world too full of grim issue plays devoid of personality and character, Proctor tackles just as much (if not more) in a FUNNY romantic comedy of time travel. I'm blown away. A perfect example of not only my favorite kind of play, but the kind we desperately need more of. Produce this shit.
