Inspired by Robert Burton's 17th century “The Anatomy of Melancholy,” Ruhl’s rendering is a farcical ode to an increasingly taboo emotion. A group of cheerful Illinois residents are beguiled by an irresistibly tragic young stranger. One of the most talked about playwrights of her generation, Ruhl delivers another wry, delightful and thought provoking piece.
