BREAKDOWN
A romantic comedy about loss, love, change and redemption. Matilde, a former student of humor, has left Brazil after the death of her parents to work as a housekeeper for Lane, a career-minded doctor, and her husband, Charles. When Matilde suddenly stops cleaning, Lane is beside herself—until her sister, Virginia, secretly begins cleaning on Matilde’s behalf. Meanwhile, Charles has fallen head over heels for the passionate, charismatic Ana, his patient who is dying from cancer. Ruhl's enchanting play reminds us that there is humor and beauty to be found in life's most unlikely messes.
We welcome actors of all abilities, ethnicities and gender identities to submit.
