SUMMARY:
Among younger contemporary American playwrights, Sarah Ruhl has been especially favored by local companies, with productions from Kitchen Dog Theater, Undermain Theatre and Stage West. Going back to Ruhl’s first published work, Upstart Productions now pitches in with Melancholy Play. Despite the title, it’s a romantic comedy marked by Ruhl’s usual fantastical imagination. Natalie Young, who had a terrific year onstage in 2011, plays the mysterious and — temporarily, at least — melancholy heroine.
