Press Reviews
"Fox’s script does a wonderful job of pulling in details of Wells’ book and staying true to some of the elements of The Time Machine, while crafting characters and a plot that are entirely original and continually engaging."
— Talkin’ Broadway
"The plot is heart-pounding with characters you root for and dialogue that drives both. History, science and art combine to create contemporary entertainment that feels like a blockbuster movie."
— Broadway World
