THE CLEAN HOUSE

By Sarah Ruhl

Syracuse Stage, Syracuse, NY

"Michael Barakiva has done a splendid job of staging and directing The Clean House. I love the way he handles the scenes of what he refers to as “magic realism,” especially the surgery scene. Mr. Barakiva and his excellent cast maintain the delicate balance required by this complex play."

- Connie Meng (North Country Public Radio)

"The Clean House stretches the boundaries between the real and the romantic, while pondering what really constitutes true happiness."

- Tony Curulla
