Alive Theatre presents…
boom
by Peter Sinn Nachtrieb
Directed by Caitlin Sullivan Hart
OC Weekly’s Top 12 plays to watch in 2012
boom by Peter Sinn Nachtrieb is a hilarious doomsday comedy that perfectly approaches its big themes sideways. It is a play that speaks quietly and piquantly, to our enduring fascination with and need for myths about the beginning of life as well as its end.
