The Clean House
By Sarah Ruhl
A co-production with Black Swan State Theatre Company
The Clean House
Overview
Matilde's Brazilian parents died laughing – literally – but she missed the killer punch line.
In her new homeland of America, she staves off the boredom of cleaning the house of the uptight Lane by trying to create the funniest joke in the world.
But when Lane's husband decides to leave her for an older woman, it is Matilde who must come to her rescue – if only she can remember the gag.
Enter the whimsical world of The Clean House, a heart-warming story of love, loss and the life-affirming power of laughter.
