The Clean House at 7:30 PM

Presented by Harvard-Radcliffe Summer Theatre
Loeb Experimental Theater
Runs: 6/28 - 7/6
Harvard-Racliffe Summer Theatre presents the first show of the 2013 season. Sarah Ruhl's The Clean House. Lane is a successful doctor who's married to a surgeon, and her life seems perfect - until she learns that her husband has fallen in love with a terminally ill patient. Meanwhile, Matilde, her young Brazilian maid who hates cleaning, mourns the death of her parents by trying to come up with the funniest joke in the world. Worlds collide as Lane's sister, Virginia, tries to tidy up Lane's house and personal life while Matilde tries to clean two houses at once. Sarah Ruhl's The Clean House asks how responsible we are for the messes in our lives and the lives of those around us - and speaks to the value of both accepting life's untidiness and embracing the healing power of laughter.
