The world premiere play by Keiko Green is about a mother and her adult son who live together, often uneasily, in Washington state
Keiko Green’s “Sharon” is wonderfully weird, its dread and desperation served up with a side of meatballs. Very little is as it seems in the domain of Sharon and Jake Darling.
Very little of what ensues is as telegraphed as that. “Sharon” never stops being ominous, but never is it obvious.“Sharon” is debuting two years after its workshop reading in Cygnet’s Bill and Judy Garrett Finish Line new play series. It’s the second world premiere of 2023 for Green, a graduate of UC San Diego’s MFA Playwriting program. Her “Exotic Deadly: Or the MSG Play” premiered at the Old Globe in April.
It’s a pleasure to watch Driscoll, who has returned to San Diego from her new home in the Bay Area to appear in this production, exploit with her meticulous actions and reactions the enigma that is Sharon. At the same time, Goldstein’s dead-staring Jake can flit from repression to manic outburst yet still manage to warrant a degree of sympathy.
