Lost in Time

"Scientists know that space-time is more fluid than we think. If only we mere mortals could harness this energy, we might be able to change a few things in our pasts that we regret. And if we desire it enough-think about it just hard enough-would it happen? That's the premise of LOST IN TIME, the astonishing play by Tony Pasqualini. Danny is completely disoriented when he wakes up, not in his comfortable San Francisco home, but back at school with his rather dippy roommate, Robert. When he finally realizes he's somehow transported back to his college years, he sets out to alter a few key, regrettable incidents in his life, by making different choices. Alas, nothing goes as planned. His future wife spurns him when he makes an early entrance in her life; his father dies unexpectedly, and, in a completely new development, his future sister-in-law becomes insistent that he should date her.... Does Danny manage to bring his life back around after turning his future on its head? I'll leave it to you...to see how all this gets sorted out." Leigh Kennicott, showmag.com "When the past becomes the present, can you change the future? In Tony Pasqualini's new play, LOST IN TIME, Danny finds himself transported 40 years into his own past. In an attempt to rectify the wrongs he committed in his marriage, he tries to use this unique opportunity to make things right. However, the more he gets lost in this new life, the more the future he left behind becomes distant and irretrievable. When he wakes up 40 years in his past, Danny is understandably stunned.... We are then introduced to his roommate, the slightly immature, yet instantly lovable Robert.... When Danny makes the trek from Boston to Vermont to meet his not-yet wife, Gwen, he encounters Gwen's rebellious older sister, Amy. Witnessing Gwen struggle against her inexplicable attraction to Danny (remember, in this alternate version of the past, he's practically a stranger) is fascinating; what is particularly endearing, however, is watching the budding friendship between Robert and Amy, and the obvious crush he develops on her after she comes up to Boston for a visit. LOST IN TIME puts a wonderful twist on a classic trope. This thought-provoking text..." Julia Stier, Stage Raw
