Sarah Ruhl - ‘The Clean House’

New York Times: "Jockeys have the Triple Crown, hockey players have the three-goal hat trick, but there is no equivalent in the theater for what has been happening to Sarah Ruhl lately. Her highly praised 2004 play, “The Clean House,” is finally having its New York premiere on Oct. 30 at Lincoln Center, one of nine productions of it scheduled this year around the country."

It's great to see Sarah Ruhl become so successful. I was studying at piven theatre workshop in the midst of her writing eurydice and when it first was performed. i'm glad that her voice is being reocgnized in new york and I look forward to seeing what else she will produce.

This is a great piece which exposses Sarah Ruhl as the great artist she is. Watching as she continues to progress onto bigger and better things, she may very well be the next great playwright of this age.

Yeah Joe, did you know that doctor's originally used vibrators as a tools in medical treatments to cure hysteria? And even more interesting is that the dildo can be traced back 12,000 years, yes there really are that many zeros, in areas of Asia and Africa. It was not until the 1920s that people began to make the connection between vibrators and purely sexual pleasure, at which point they became taboo, and were no longer used as a medical tool.
