The Bay Area Reporter calls “The Law of Attraction” a “zingy comedy” and “an ideal tonic for yet another night at home during this long pandemic haul.”
Here’s the full review:
Through November 18
The Law of Attraction, produced by the New Conservatory Theatre Company, audio on demand; pay-what-you-wish.
Developed as a world premiere stage production for NCTC’s 2020-21 season, playwright Patricia Milton has gamely rewritten her zingy comedy about self-help gurus and queer romance as an audio play. B.A.R. had an advanced listen and is pleased to report that the show’s cast of four, under the spritely direction of Nikki Meñez, has splendid comic timing and that the slightly silly play is an ideal tonic for yet another night at home during this long pandemic haul.
Playing Peter, a self-involved banker who turns out to be a common thread between the other characters, Matt Weimer has a remarkably distinctive radio-friendly voice that will be instantly recognizable to audience members who have seen him in excellent local productions of How To Transcend A Happy Marriage and The Goat. And in a terrific of-the-moment joke, the audio production includes an ‘intermission’ segment between its two acts, in which a fatuous bartender chats with a patron in a sonic recreation of NCTC’s Van Ness Avenue theater. www.nctcsf.org
