Matilda, a young woman from Brazil, gets depressed when not thinking up jokes. Which would not be a problem if Matilde were a privileged woman like Lane, the driven American doctor who is her employer. But Matilde has been hired to clean Lane’s house, and her allergic reaction to Windex and feather dusters has Lane on edge. “I’m sorry,” she says, “but I did not go to medical school to clean my own house.” Fortunately for both, Lane’s sister, Virginia, sees the quintessence in dust. “If you do not clean,” she asks, “how do you know if you’ve made any progress in life?”
And so Virgnia persuades Matilde to let her clean her sister’s house on the sly, thereby setting in motion a series of events that gradually reorders the relationships among the play’s characters.
