The Maids

Jean Genet’s 1947 play, about servants who imagine killing their rich mistress, still hasn’t been domesticated; it retains a core of danger that bubbles through the cracked theatricality of its surface. Jack Dryden directs the latest revival, which is performed in the round using Bernard Frechtman's translation from the original French. The cast comprises Hannah Adrian, Kasey O’Brien and Isto Barton.
