“Taichman proves, yet again, she’s a master at combining grand theatrical aesthetics tickling the surreal side of Ruhl’s work with natural performances of an acting ensemble.”

Boston Globe

“The beauty of the current Williamstown Theatre Festival production lies in director Rebecca Taichman’s ability to embrace Ruhl’s imaginative universe, while steering her cast toward the characters’ subtler moments of unexpected connection…Director Taichman has gathered a truly outstanding ensemble to surf these emotional waves with affecting grace… Taichman also gives this production an extraordinary pace and rhythm that encompasses the uneven nature of the way our lives progress.

“…the canny direction of Rebecca Taichman, accentuates Ruhl’s poetic worldview…with her funny and compassionate sense of life’s metamorphosing rewards and punishment.”

CURTAIN UP

“Director Rebecca Taichman has an innate sense of the Zen aspects of Clean House, while also understanding the screwball comedy touches which flourish between the characters.”
