(November 2010)

A production of Sarah Ruhl’s ‘Melancholy Play’. Portion of the Proceeds going to The Women’s Fund of Western Massachusetts.

“Sarah Ruhl’s Melancholy Play mixed the absurdity of Pirandello and Fellini and the edgy prettiness of Edna St. Vincent Millay. Off-beat, lyrical and just a little bit nutty, it is a real charmer”                           

                                                            Chicago Sun-Times

"A contemporary farce, Melancholy… is Bold, Outward, Sassy, Sexy and Unashamed.”

In this whimsical celebration of sadness, Tilly, an irresistibly melancholy young stranger, makes her sorrow so sexy that everyone in her life falls maddeningly in love with her. When Tilly suddenly finds happiness, this change of heart throws her whole universe off-kilter, resulting in a mystical and hilarious quest to define joy. A contemporary farce.
