Reviews of New York premiere at Ars Nova:
"Mr. Nachtrieb has a gift for darkly funny dialogue and an appealing way of approaching big themes sideways. ...Boom winds up speaking, quietly and piquantly, to our enduring fascination with and need for myths about the beginning of life as well as its end." -- Ben Brantley, The New York Times
"I would definitely recommend grabbing your ticket to Boom" -- Matt Johnston, Nytheatre.com
"A fantastically wild ride! Nachtrieb has crafted an imaginative piece of social satire...a clever play that's both experimental and entertaining." -- Backstage.com
"Sex! Planet-ruining cataclysms! Loads of booze! We're ready for whatever strange places Boom wants to take us!" -- Variety
Review of Playwrights Rep production:
"...clever, well-crafted and witty play..." -- Channing Gray, ProJo
Can impending doom be the ultimate aphrodisiac? Jules and Jo go toe to toe as their world collapses around them. Sex. Lies. Videotape. Fish that are trying to tell us something. You definitely won’t want to miss this one.
