Description of play:

 

A BOLD CONTEMPORARY COMEDY

By Sarah Ruhl

 

Susan Smith Blackburn Prize

for Best Play 2004

 

Pulitzer Prize Finalist

 

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA PREMIERE

 

January 17

Mountain View Center

for the Performing Arts

 

There's a Brazilian maid who hates to clean but loves

a good joke. There's a tidy house and a chaotic

marriage, a brace of battling sisters, and a desperate

doctor snowshoeing the Yukon in search of cures. And

there's a unique wit illuminating this infectious dark

comedy, offering laughter as an antidote for the mess

we inevitably make of love. A boldly original tale of

loss, change, and redemption, it features a gallery of

beguiling characters learning to connect in the stress

test of daily life.
