All the plays thematically toy with various ideas and implications of time. The quality of the writing ranges from near-genius to totally gimmicky. I'm fairly certain this guy is the one responsible for the movie Groundhog Day. There are some very imaginative games he plays in here, and there is innovative staging to represent various (often cerebrally engaging, but sometimes rather heartbreaking) models of time. It's very accessible work, however...which is why the plays are increasingly getting performed all over the planet. Oh, did I mention he's very funny and that the plays are actually fun to experience?
They are. Decidedly yes...yes they are.
