The Oldest Boy
79 Horton Plaza, San Diego
Cost: $33 - $66
In Sarah Ruhl's comedy-drama, Mother has lived an in-between life, committed in the morning, lax by sunset. When two Tibetan monks inform her that her son Tenzin is the reincarnation of a high lama, Mother ("a kind of a Buddhist") must face the unthinkable: send her son to India. Unlike Ruhl's other inventive plays, Oldest Boy is almost one-note predictable: not will, but how will Mother resolve the question? A stellar Rep production and a special performance by Amanda Sitton as Mother bring life and urgency to the script's semi-formal debate between the individual and society. Critic's Pick.
