As Matilde, Michele Vazquez is a Brazilian maid who hates to clean but loves to tell jokes in the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park’s production of Sarah Ruhl’s Pulitzer Prize-nominated The Clean House. This offbeat comedy is a 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. |
