Jessica Hecht star in this heartfelt comedy by Pulitzer Prize finalist Sarah Ruhl.
Lane (Atkinson), an accomplished physician, discovers that her sister Virginia
(Hecht) — not her Brazilian housekeeper Matilde (Cote de Pablo) — has been
cleaning her home every day. Though never close, suddenly the sisters find
themselves enmeshed in each other’s lives and in Matilde’s great passion
for Portuguese jokes. Rebecca Taichman directs this expressive and lyrical
comedy about learning to live with life’s mess.
