About the play...
In Dirty Laundry, Mathilde Dratwa explores the absurdity and messiness of life and death. Following the unexpected loss of her mother and the simultaneous discovery of her father’s infidelity, an adult daughter juggles grief and anger. Her dad attempts to put into words his complicated feelings about love, loss, and lust. Meanwhile, the “other woman” ponders: What is an affair when it's no longer an affair?
