The Clean House Extends to 1/28, With Two-Week Holiday Layoff

Lincoln Center Theater has announced that it will extend the run of its current production of Sarah Ruhl's The Clean House through January 28 at the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater. The production, directed by Bill Rauch, opened on October 30 and was originally scheduled to run through December 17. The extension will begin on January 2 after a two-week layoff for the holidays.

In The Clean House, Lane, a high-powered doctor played by Blair Brown, seems to have it all—except for a clean house. Her housekeeper, a young Brazilian woman Vanessa Aspillaga who hates to clean is only interested in coming up with the world's funniest joke. When a crisis strikes without warning, Lane's life spins out of control. John Dossett plays Lane's husband; Jill Clayburgh her sister, Virginia; and Concetta Tomei, a free spirit named Ana.

Following the extended run of The Clean House, Lincoln Center Theater will present Christopher Shinn's new play Dying City, directed by James Macdonald, beginning performances on February 15. Tom Stoppard's trilogy The Coast of Utopia, directed by Jack O'Brien, is playing through March 10 in LCT's Vivian Beaumont Theater.
