REVIEW ROUNDUP
“Happily, director Emmi Hilger keeps this production very simple, allowing the charms of the cast and, most importantly, Ruhl’s script to transport the audience. The stark white set, by Tianyu Qiu, creates a sense of fragility, of a world so brittle that it could easily splinter and break, as Lane’s perfectly kempt life does over the course of the play, for the better. This production keeps “The Clean House’s” distinctive magic firmly intact.” -Alex Huntsberger, Centerstage Chicago
“[The Clean House] has a couple of great performances under assured direction at its core. …it has its moments of gentle humor and an eclectic voice I for one would like to see as the company continues to mature.” -Clint May, Chicago Theatre Beat
