Visit Columbus Underground to read Richard Sanford's effusive review of Dirty Laundry. He says, "Available Light ends the 2025-26 season with another astonishing example of the kind of work they do better than anyone."
Dratwa’s writing and the production here acknowledge how rich an inner life is, how complicated, how frequently conflicted, more successfully than almost any play I can think of.
Tickets are available NOW for Mathilde Dratwa's "raw, edge-of-your-seat family drama," directed by Drew Eberly. Dirty Laundry runs through May 16 in Studio 1 at the Riffe Center. More details here.
Pay What You Want at the door or secure your seats via CAPA Ticket Center.

Mr. Eberly says...
I love a play where the tones can clash. That makes this play unique. On the one hand you have a very realistic tone, with the very serious questions that it asks. Questions about adultery and monogamy and about what we expect of our elders.

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?
