 The
Clean House

Directed by Rhonda Clark
This fresh and funny play is imbued with a comforting philosophy that the messes
and disappointments of life are as much a part of its beauty as romantic love
and chocolate ice cream! It’s set in "metaphysical Connecticut" or, more
specifically, the home of Lane and Charles, a married couple who are both
doctors. Their new housekeeper, Matilde, is an aspiring comedian from Brazil
more interested in coming up with the perfect joke than in house-cleaning. No
matter. Lane’s eccentric sister is nuts about house work, so she secretly scrubs
while Matilde works on her jokes. Trouble comes when Lane’s husband Charles
reveals that he has found his soul mate in one of his patients.
