Fair Exchange?

by Isaac Asimov
John Sylva has invented a temporal transference device that allows his friend Herb to enter the mind of a man in 1871 London and to thereby attend three performances of a lost Gilbert & Sullivan play.

I read this story as I was starting my graduate studies in Pullman in 1978. Sadly, there was no second issue of Asimov’s SF Adventure Magazine.

We can’t be sure how accurate our estimates of time and place are, but you seem to resonate with someone in London in 1871.
