About this listen

For a book-obsessed kid with a big imagination and a flair for drama, could anything be luckier than living in a library? Capturing her remarkable childhood and its impact, Sharon Washington's autobiographical Off-Broadway show brings its sense of wonder and bittersweet realism into your home and heart as an enthralling audio experience. Only from Audible, Feeding the Dragon celebrates the role of books in opening Washington's mind to worlds of possibilities - including a career in acting.

As part of our mission to offer listeners outstanding performances in contemporary theater, we are thrilled to present acclaimed stage actor Washington’s debut as a playwright. Intimate and emotionally nuanced, Sharon Washington's reckoning of childhood, race, and memory is, as one listener says, a "feast for the creative soul."

Critic reviews

“The play does what every good story should - it captures the mind, inspires imagination, and transports the audience to a place that seems too magical to be real (yet it was!).” (Broadway World)

“At its most affecting, it’s a memoir of Ms. Washington’s parents’ perseverance and muted pain in a culture warped by racism.” (The New York Times)

“Acting, mimicking, presenting, or narrating, Washington is always a figure to watch...with a fine actor’s capacity for transformation and a born storyteller’s knack for casting a magical haze over even the most everyday events.” (The Village Voice)
