Playwriting

Stark's plays explore the paradoxes of modern life. With sharp humor that slips into nonsense, and through a variety of estrangement devices, she invites the viewer to observe role-plays, the search for meaning, the fear of intimacy and the unaware choices we make.
Homefront

Homefront

The story of a loving couple whose wish to contribute from the home front on the morning of October 7th meets again and again the limits of age and clarity of mind. In a spirit of the absurd they try to decipher reality from their living room, clinging to imagination and love in the face of loss and missed time.

By Sharon Ingrid Stark / Ruti Borenstein · Directed by Sharon Stark

"A fascinating and touching theatrical work, thanks to the precise text, sensitive direction and excellent acting."

Aviva Rozen, Biluy Naim, September 2025★★★★★
Father Figure

Father Figure

A satirical parable about parenting in a modern age. Betty Drauper hires Mr. Spitz to serve as a father figure for her teenage daughter. But as the father's rigorous methods take over the house and the pampered Mia begins to change, Betty finds her role as a mother in jeopardy.

By Sharon Stark and Roey Malich Reshef

"Witty satire about parenting and the different approaches to the concept of ‘the child's best interest'. The chemistry between the three players is great and promises a fun evening full of laughter and food for thought."

Trulove Ltd.

"Trulove" is an innovative matchmaking app. The heroine, divorced + 2, enters the app to put an end to a life of compromise. But are there shortcuts in love, and are we ready to hand over the keys to our heart to an algorithm? The play has been translated into English and Georgian as part of an anthology of Israeli women playwrights published in 2022.

Written and directed by Sharon Stark

"A philosophical play on the one hand and a rhythmic one on the other, without a single dull moment."

Paradox

Paradox

After Professor Nimrodi disappears overnight, his research assistant is forced to teach his class on Deconstruction. This is the starting point of a passionate, surprising play that unfolds as a feminist, postmodern detective mystery.

Written and directed by Sharon Stark

"The play is ostensibly about philosophical questions, but in fact the conceptual interest is only a cover for something more earthly and concrete — the exploitative relationships that develop in the academic world."
