This page-turning story is full of romance, twists, and delightful details about campus life. Will, on the other hand, is a charming college freshman from 1927 who travels forward through time and when Abbi and Will meet in the middle, love adds another complication to their lives.Ĭommunicating across time through a buried time capsule, they try to decode the mystery of their travel, find the lost baby, and plead with their champion, a kindly physics professor, to help them find each other again even though the professor gets younger each time Abbi meets him. However, on her second day, she wakes up to a different world -1983 – and that is just the first stop on Abbi’s journey backward through time. Still mourning the loss of her beloved grandmother and shaken by her mysterious, dying request to “find the baby,” Abbi has just arrived at UW Madison for her freshman year.

"It would probably never have occurred to me to write a play about the Salem witch trials of 1692 had I not seen some astonishing correspondences with that calamity in the America of the late 40s and early 50s. |
