The Clean House

Saw TheatreWorks production of The Clean House

Here's the official description from the web site:

There's a Brazilian maid who hates to clean but loves a good joke. There's a tidy house and a chaotic marriage, a brace of battling sisters, and a desperate doctor snowshoeing the Yukon in search of cures. And there's a unique wit illuminating this infectious dark comedy, offering laughter as an antidote for the mess we inevitably make of love. A boldly original tale of loss, change, and redemption, it features a gallery of beguiling characters learning to connect in the stress test of daily life.

Somehow I thought it would be funnier, but it was interesting and different and, as always, they do a really good job on the production design. I'm sorry I missed the discussion Wednesday (had to change all my tix because of my wednesday Hebrew class) because that often helps to make the weirder productions a bit more enjoyable.
