The Clean House is a fresh comedy about love, the power of a good joke and the virtues of a really clean house! Matilde, a Brazilian housekeeper, is keen to stretch her funny bone, but can’t muster any elbow grease for her domestic duties. Her employers’ house isn’t in order, and neither are their personal lives. In pursuit of the perfect joke, Matilde ignores the boss' household dirt, only to be swept away by an affair of the heart. Delicious language, seriously funny characters, and twists you won’t see coming combine for a play that hits you where you live.

"... a whip-smart production ... Lane and Chisholm are perfectly in synch as a comedic duo ... Director Dave Steakley keeps a delicate hand on it all, leaving Ruhl's sparkling script to sparkle!" – Austin American-Statesman Review
