The Clean House

Lincoln Center Theater presents Sarah Ruhl’s The Clean House, directed by Bill Rauch. The cast features Vanessa Aspillaga, Blair Brown, Jill Clayburgh, John Dossett, and Concetta Tomei.

Lane, a high powered-doctor, hires Matilde, a young Brazilian woman who hates to clean, as her housekeeper. Eventually, Lane’s sister Virginia takes on the job, and Matilde concentrates on her true ambition: crafting the world’s most perfect joke. Meanwhile, Lane’s husband, Charles, leaves her for Anna, a free-spirited older woman.

Ruhl won the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize and was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for The Clean House; the play debuted at Yale Repertory Theatre, where it was directed by Rauch.
