From press release

Ever wondered what happens after we figure out time travel? Hollywood would have us think it’ll all be evil-doers and paradoxes. But what if it’s crass exploitation for cheap thrills? What if it becomes as lowbrow as reality television?  Bugger The Butterfly! ponders a world where time-travel, like so many other miracles of technology, has become banal. Celebrity–filled, boozy, irreverent, and just a little bit gay, Bugger the Butterfly! answers Cher’s question for the ages – what would you do ‘if you could turn back time’?

Pencil-Neck Theatre is proud to present Bugger the Butterfly!, their new production by the author of past Fringe hits: Gypsies, Four Ways ‘Til rain, SERVICED, BASH, and 2009’s multiple award winning A Singularity of Being. Bugger the Butterfly! is a smart, speculative comedy about our futurein time-travel. Written by award-winning author T. Berto, Bugger the Butterfly! features Kenny Grenier as Diego, our hero from the future, and Gordon Harper as an early Peter O’Toole. Bugger the Butterfly! is the seventh Fringe production of playwright T. Berto, FIRST PLACE WINNER of both the 2000 and the 2009 Toronto Fringe Playwriting contest.
