UTA's Maverick Theatre Company Presents The Clean House by Sarah Ruhl

A romantic comedy about loss, love, change, and redemption, THE CLEAN HOUSE is both whimsical and touching. A serious career-oriented doctor, Lane, has hired a quirky Brazilian maid. The only problem is that the maid, Matilde, hates to clean. Instead, she longs to be a comedienne. Lane is deserted by her husband, Charles, who leaves her for his mistress, Ana, a passionate, older Brazilian woman upon whom he recently performed a mastectomy. Sarah Ruhl’s enchanting play reminds us that there is humor and beauty to be found in life’s most unlikely messes. THE CLEAN HOUSE is a 2003-2004 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize Winner and a 2005 Pulitzer Prize in Drama Finalist.

THE CLEAN HOUSE features members of UT Arlington’s Maverick Theatre Company including: Alyssa Azacarate (Matilda), Darcy Doyle (Lane), Bethany Doolin (Virginia), Cody Jackson (Charles), and Emily Bulloch (Ana). This play is directed by Assistant Professor of Instruction and Playwright-in-Residence Seraphina Nova Glass.
