THE CLEAN HOUSE  is a deeply romantic comedy “that is visionary, tinged with fantasy, extravagant in feeling, maybe a little nuts,” says Peter Marks reviewing the Woolly Mammoth Theatre production where the original play was commissioned.


In the tradition of the Brickyard Theatre, THE CLEAN HOUSE is funny, filled with magical realism, and carried by a wonderful theme (that will be our surprise).  There are outrageous circumstances, characters with unusual dreams, and a catalyst that brings them to realization.

THE CLEAN HOUSE won the 2004 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, awarded annually to the best English-language play written by a woman, and was a Pulitzer Prize finalist.
