Theatre Lunatico presents Melancholy Play by Sarah Ruhl: a contemporary farce that takes on new meaning in a post-pandemic world. Rather than viewing “melancholy” as sad or subdued, Melancholy Play embraces a vibrant, sexy, and exuberant view of melancholy: emotions are full and fully felt, without being throttled by the person feeling. A swift pace and live music by cellist Ben Davis help immerse the audience in a world of quirky and delightful magical realism created by the ensemble cast.
