This extraordinary new play by an exciting fresh voice in American drama was a Pulitzer Prize runner-up. It takes place in what the author describes as “metaphysical Connecticut.” The action centers around the home of a married couple, who are both doctors, and Matilde, their Brazilian housekeeper. Without entirely giving away the plot, the action of this play gives new meaning to the phrase, “I almost died laughing.”
