SYNOPSIS: |
Clean
houses, messy lives,
and surprising relationships.
With hectic jobs
as doctors, Lane and
Charles have little
time to keep up with
the dishes
and laundry, so they
hire a Brazilian housekeeper
named Matilde. The
problem? She would
much rather spend her
day trying to write
the perfect
joke. So when Lane’s “tidy” sister
Virginia approaches
Matilde about taking
over these dreadful
duties for her because
she is so
obsessed with cleaning,
she can’t
help herself.
Matilde’s
prayers
seem to be answered.
Yet, when Charles
falls madly in
love with one
of his
patients, things
quickly start
to turn messy
in this absurd
and wickedly
inventive dark
comedy from one
of the most unique
voices in American
theatre today.
