The Clean House
By Sarah Ruhl
Jan. 24 - Feb. 24, 2006

An offbeat comedy about clean houses and messy lives. A high-powered and humorless doctor hires a Brazilian maid who hates to clean but loves to tell jokes. When the maid befriends the doctor’s oddball sister, who does love to clean, a strange match is made. That is, until a crisis at home makes a mess of the doctor’s life. The surprising relationships that result send everyone reeling in this humorous and moving new play about laughter we don’t understand, events we can’t control, houses we can’t keep tidy and the power of the perfect joke. Finalist for the 2005 Pulitzer Prize.

"A fresh, funny new play by a talented young playwright."
- The New York Times
