The Clean House

by Sarah Ruhl

What happens when a life built on order begins to come undone?

Sarah Ruhl’s The Clean House is a whimsical, funny, and quietly heartbreaking play about the chaos we try to contain—and the unexpected ways love, laughter, and loss can transform us.

Centered on a doctor with a perfect home, a maid who hates to clean, and a family whose carefully managed lives begin to shift, this luminous comedy finds beauty in mess, tenderness in surprise, and humor in the places we least expect it.

Ruhl’s voice is witty and elegant, turning everyday life into something strange, touching, and unforgettable.

Join us for this imaginative and moving story about order, chaos, and the ways we care for one another.
