Visiting Mr. Green
987-D Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach, 92075
It's clear where Jeff Baron's comedy-drama is headed the second 29-year-old Ross Gardiner enters 86-year-old Mr. Green's cluttered apartment: can you spell b-o-n-d? Each has a secret that will drive them apart, then nudge them together in a dual coming-out party. The North Coast Rep production, nicely directed by Christopher M. Williams, adds detail and subtlety to a by-the-numbers script. Robert Grossman's Mr. Green begins with gravel-gutted bitterness, which makes his breakthrough feel earned rather than merely inevitable. Craig De Lorenzo unpeels Ross, from an upwardly mobile Harvard grad to a young man as troubled, in his own way, as dour Mr. Green.
Worth a try.
