Description
Based on the crime that shocked all of France in 1933, The Maids is Genet's rendering of the incestuous Papin sisters who savagely murdered their employer and her daughter. Their brutal act became a symbol of the rising up of the oppressed against the tyranny of class structure. This production will delve into the nature of obsession as it collides with sexuality and the struggle for power. Expressed through the absurdity of Genet's unique voice, The Maids is a haunting, compelling and infinitely humane look at the great toll servitude and love take on the soul.
