The Clean House is a play by Sarah Ruhl. Winner of the 2004 Susan Smith
Blackburn Prize, awarded annually to the best English-language play written by a woman, and
a Pulitzer Prize finalist, The Clean House has been hailed by critics and audiences
alike.
The Clean House is a warm-hearted comedy that revolves around Lane, a doctor
who can't stand to clean her own house. Unfortunately for the busy doctor, her Brazilian
cleaning lady Matilde's attitude towards dirt is as follows: "If the floor is dirty, look at the
ceiling". Hilarious antics ensue in what has been dubbed a deeply romantic comedy mingled
with fantasy and a little insanity.

Mathilde is a cleaning woman who likes to tell jokes but hates to clean. Born to the funniest people in Brazil, she is on a mission to find the perfect joke. But Mathilde works for Lane, a successful doctor who doesn't have time to clean or to take care of a depressed maid. Lane's sister, Virginia, loves to clean and secretly offers to help Mathilde with her predicament. That seems like the perfect arrangement until Lane's husband (Charles, also a doctor) leaves her for another woman. Lane's home may be tidy but her life is a mess and now Mathilde has two houses to clean. In Sarah Ruhl's utterly original comedy, everyday life is infused with magic, and the ordinary becomes the extraordinary. Four women discover the power of the perfect joke and along the way learn that life's messes should be treasured as much as its beauty.
