The Maids
by Jean Genet (in a translation by Martin Crimp)
"Their truth is always elsewhere…" - Jean-Paul Sartre
Two maids spend their evenings playacting the ritual strangulation of their employer.
But, one day, the game takes a turn and they find themselves prisoners in their own plot.
Inspired by the real-life crime of the Papin sisters, The Maids is an apocalyptic whirlwind that explores the human desire to find meaning in life.
