Descriere & specificații

-Passionate. Show-stopping. Daringly over-the-top and impressively consistent in its delirious excess. The Clean House shines.--- New Haven Advocate - The Clean House is not, by any means, a traditional boy-meets-girl story. In fact disease, death, and dirt are among the subjects it addresses. This comedy is romantic, deeply so, but in the more arcane sense of the word: visionary, tinged with fantasy, extravagant in feeling, maybe a little nuts.--- The New York Times -Touching, inventive, invigoratingly compact, and luminously liquid, Eurydice reframes the ancient myth of ill-fated love to focus not on the bereaved musician but on his dead bride--and on her struggle with love beyond the grave.--- San Francisco Chronicle This volume is the first publication of Sarah Ruhl, -a playwright with a unique comic voice, perspective, and sense of theater- ( Variety ), who is fast leaving her mark on the American stage. In the award-winning Clean House --a play of uncommon romance and uncommon comedy--a maid who hates cleaning dreams about creating the perfect joke, while a doctor who treats cancer leaves his heart inside one of his patients. This volume also includes Eurydice , Ruhl's reinvention of the tragic Greek tale of love and loss, together with a third play still to be named. Sarah Ruhl received the prestigious Susan Smith Blackburn Prize in 2004 for her play The Clean House , which has been produced at Yale Repertory Theatre in New Haven, Wilma Theatre in Philadelphia, South C
