San Francisco Bay Area Theater Reviews

“Ideation”

February 5, 2017 by Eddie Reynolds Leave a Comment

Ideation
Aaron Loeb
City Lights Theater Company
Tom Gough, Sunny Moza & George Psarras
The outlandish possibilities flouted about have too many bits of troubling plausibility tucked into them for us to say that Ideation is just a sci-fi, comic thriller.  Premiering in 2014, Aaron Loeb’s play is unfortunately even more grippingly alarming just three years later, given some of the directions our national and international worlds seem to be going.  City Lights Theater Company stages a funny, horrifying Ideationthat cannot help but engender timely, follow-up discussions that need to occur.
