Feeling sad has never been this sexy. Sarah Ruhl’s The Melancholy Play turns depression into an aphrodisiac and sadness into an art form. It’s a contemporary farce about a woman so beautifully blue, everyone is falling in love with her.
Warning: Side effects may include sudden tree-nut transformations and unexpected laughing fits.
