About the author

Sarah Ruhl

Ruhl writes plays of magical realism that treat grief, love, and the afterlife with a lightness and formal ingenuity unlike any contemporary American dramatist. Dead Man's Cell Phone and The Clean House have made her the most produced new playwright in American regional theater.
