MELANCHOLY PLAY

Written by:  Sarah Ruhl

Directed by:  Matthew Weil

Tilly’s melancholy is of an exquisite quality. She turns her melancholy into a sexy thing, and every stranger she meets falls in love with her. One day, inexplicably, Tilly becomes happy, and wreaks havoc on the lives of her paramours. This contemporary farce by Pulitzer Prize finalist Sarah Ruhl (Eurydice, In the Room Next Door (or the Vibrator Play), Stage Kiss) is a fast-paced, comedic, and action-packed journey of five characters in search of an almond.
