The Maids by Jean Genet

Stone Soup's Upstage Theatre
Seattle, WA


Inspired by the true story of sisters Lea and Christine Papin who brutally murdered their employer and her daughter in Le Mans, France in 1933, Jean Genet gives us sisters Solange and Claire, two housemaids deeply resentful and envious of their upper-class employers.  Throughout the action of the play, they engage in a perverse game of role-playing in which they impersonate one another as well as their hated mistress, and then take turns ritually killing her in mock murders. The Maids explores the master/servant relationship and raises questions about our civilized notions of human behavior and feminine ideals.
