The Road to Yesterday
by Beulah Marie Dix and Evelyn Greenleaf Sutherland
To me, the play had the feel of madcap antics in Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of
Being Earnest—but with time travel! In the play, a midsummer’s wish takes two
travelers, Elspeth and Jack, from 1903 to their earlier incarnations of themselves in
1603. Happily, they return rather friendlier than they left.
— Michael Main
Oh, dear Aunt Harriet! It isn’t sudden—really not! We’ve been engaged three hundred
years!

Theatre (New York City, 31 December 1906).
