The Rice Players are proud to announce that their spring 2008 play will be Sarah Ruhl's "Melancholy Play", a farcical meditation on melancholy and angst.

Tilly's melancholy is of an exquisite quality. She turns her melancholy into a sexy thing, and every stranger she meets falls in love with her. One day, inexplicably, Tilly becomes happy, and wreaks havoc on the lives of her paramours.
