The Clean House, June 10 - July 3, Circle Theatre
Sarah Ruhl’s brilliant comedy, The Clean House, is a whimsical romantic comedy centered on Matilde, a Brazilian cleaning woman who would rather be a comedian. Her attitude towards dirt is as follows: "If the floor is dirty, look at the ceiling!" The Clean House won the 2004 Susan Smith Backburn Prize, awarded annually to the best English language play written by a woman, and was a Pulitzer Prize finalist. Variety called the play a "...wondrously mad and moving work..." and The New York Times dubbed it "a deeply romantic comedy... a memorable play, imbued with a melancholy but somehow comforting philosophy: that the messes and disappointments of life are as much a part of its beauty as romantic love and chocolate ice cream, and a perfect punch line can be as sublime as the most wrenchingly lovely aria."
