REVIEW: The Time Machine
Reading Time: 2 minutesStarring in The Time Machine is Michael Dylan (Wilf), George Kemp (Jack Absolute Flies Again) and Amy Revelle (Offside). In the first half of the play, the three are we are rehearsing the importance of being earnest by Oscar Wilde. But George has other ideas for their performance. Claiming to be the great great grandson of H.G. Wells - with some questionable evidence, he switches the play to a re-creation of H.G. Wells The Time Machine. I have to admit I was a little confused in the beginning and wondered what I was watching. George's inability to craft a play even under life-threatening circumstances contributes to this situation. Additionally, it appears his great-great-grandfather possessed genuine time-traveling abilities—a skill George manages to figure out as well. Consequently, the stage is now ready for the second half. I felt like the show took a while to get started in the first half, but still some funny moments a standout being a time traveling Meghan Markle, exaggerated American accident and all, explaining the long winded science behind time travel. Not forgetting the renditions of Kermit The Frog and Miss Piggy, all in their attempt to hilariously explain the ‘time paradox’ to the audience. I can’t say I definitely understood the time paradox; but I certainly laughed.
