What I liked
There was not a moment wasted in this sharply-paced, beautifully choreographed piece. I can’t wait to go pick up H.G. Wells’ novel to study just how writer/director Benjamin McFadden pulled off this clever feat.
What I didn't like
Give this talented company a true run — only five performances is simply not enough!
My overall impression
THE TIME MACHINE blew me away. It was executed with absolute precision, from the beautiful textured costumes to the light and sound design to the set pieces — which look like they could be in an acclaimed regional playhouse and not just a Fringe show.
Benjamin McFadden’s script is whimsical and clever — a truly accomplished adaptation of the original novel. Jessica Erin Martin captivates as the Time Traveler, giving a nuanced performance that is both tender and fierce.
The entire cast exudes energy, whimsy, and talent.
The puppetry was visually mesmerizing.
What a triumph!
