About this Event

The Melancholy Play

(a contemporary farce)

By Sarah Ruhl

Directed by Jodi I. Kanter

Music by Douglas Boyce

Feeling sad has never been this sexy. Sarah Ruhl’s The Melancholy Play turns depression into an aphrodisiac and sadness into an art form. It’s a contemporary farce about a woman so beautifully blue, everyone is falling in love with her.
Warning: Side effects may include sudden ree-nut transformations and unexpected laughing fits.

Produced by the Corcoran Program of Theatre & Dance amd the Corcoran Program of Music
