"Clean House" by Sarah Ruhl  

April 8th through May 9th 

 
This extraordinary new play by an exciting new voice in the American drama was runner-up for the Pulitzer Prize. Sarah Ruhl's brilliant comedy revolves around Lane, a doctor who can't stand to clean her own house. Unfortunately for the busy physician, her depressed young cleaning lady, Mathilde's attitude toward dirt is as follows: "If the floor is dirty, look at the ceiling." Zoloft doesn't help, but Lane's sister, Virginia secretly takes on the job with uproarious results.

Variety called the play a "...wondrously mad and moving work..." and The New York Times dubbed it a deeply romantic comedy... "Fresh, funny .....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."

These ancient and contemporary themes underlie Shakespeare's rousing and inflammatory play about war - with all its glory, horror, moral dilemmas and fraternities - a thrilling and thought-provoking summer with "Shakespeare Under the Stars"
