New York City
Set in a “metaphysical Connecticut”, a married couple who are both doctors have hired a housekeeper named Matilde, an aspiring comedian from Brazil who’s more interested in coming up with the perfect joke than in house-cleaning. This theatrical and wildly funny play is a whimsical and poignant look at class, comedy and the true nature of love. This extraordinary new play by an exciting new voice in the American drama was runner-up for the Pulitzer Prize.
