Sarah Rühle

    Sarah Ruhl è una drammaturga americana la cui opera si addentra nelle profondità dell'esperienza umana. Le sue opere intrecciano magistralmente gli aspetti mondani della vita quotidiana con temi mitici senza tempo di amore e guerra. Originariamente attratta dalla poesia, il suo background è evidente nel suo uso ricco ed evocativo del linguaggio, che conferisce alle sue opere drammatiche una qualità lirica unica. Ruhl è celebrata per le sue vivide e avventurose creazioni teatrali, che giustappongono in modo toccante il reale con il mitico.

    • 2006

      This volume is the first publication of Sarah Ruhl, “a playwright with a unique comic voice, perspective, and sense of theater” (Variety), who is fast leaving her mark on the American stage. In the award-winning Clean House—a play of uncommon romance and uncommon comedy—a maid who hates cleaning dreams about creating the perfect joke, while a doctor who treats cancer leaves his heart inside one of his patients. This volume also includes Eurydice, Ruhl’s reinvention of the tragic Greek tale of love and loss, together with a third play still to be named.Sarah Ruhl received the prestigious Susan Smith Blackburn Prize in 2004 for her play The Clean House, which has been produced at Yale Repertory Theatre in New Haven, Wilma Theatre in Philadelphia, South Coast Repertory Theatre in Costa Mesa, and Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company in Washington, DC. Her play Eurydice has been produced at Madison Repertory Theatre and Berkeley Repertory Theatre.
