Melancholy Play

Written by Sarah Ruhl
Directed by Lexi Clements Deschambault

JULY 15 - 31, 2011

Run time: 90 minutes, no intermisson

Description:

Because the quiet was all she owned,
she walked to an almond tree,
undid the branches...
and lying down
became an almond.

In Sarah Ruhl's Melancholy Play, four people's lives become shaken upon meeting a magnetic young stranger named Tilly. Her aura of sweet sadness is irresistible, and one by one they fall instantly in love with her. But when Tilly suddenly becomes happy, it wreaks havoc in all of their lives, enough to make one admirer more melancholy than they ever thought possible. It is up to Tilly to get her back.
