    ​Robert is a writer. Or, well, he wants to be. He's only ever had one good idea... but before he could write it, someone else did.

    The concept: a sci-fi comedy about a parallel universe where The Beatles don't exist.

    ​Robert is a writer. Or, well, he wants to be. He's only ever had one good idea... but before he could write it, someone else did.

    The concept: a sci-fi comedy about a parallel universe where The Beatles don't exist.

    The thief: Richard Curtis ("Love, Actually") and Danny Boyle ("Trainspotting"), with their 2019 film "Yesterday."

    What Robert doesn't know is that he is in for a universe-hopping adventure of his own...

    With a supernatural second chance to write the script that was "stolen" from him, will he make something of his trust-fund do-nothing life? Will his boyfriend, Dev, be the same across the multiverse? Will saucy new flings arise as the universe twists and turns the relationships in Robert's life?

    This fast-paced farce pokes fun at pipedreams, procrastinations, and the phoniness inside us all.

    Meet the Three Wise Men... portrayed by three snarky boys. "A" is a 12-year-old Christian kid who wants to put on a perfect, traditional Nativity Scene. "B" is a 12-year-old Jewish kid who wants to reinvent the show, incorporating magic and madness from the LORD OF THE RINGS universe. "C" is a 12-year-old agent of chaos who's just here to have a good time. In this short one-act, A tries to "save Christmas" by rejecting B and C's playful changes to the script. When B and C sing an especially ridiculous rendition of "12 Days of Christmas," A is brought to tears. B explains that no one is trying to "destroy" Christmas -- everyone loves the holiday, even if not for the religious reasons A's family is trying to hold on to. The three boys reconcile and compromise, and the play ends with a magical twist on the traditional manger scene.
