Description:
They’re sisters! They’re lovers! They’re cross-dressing murders! Two maids play out a sadomasochistic wet dream of killing their boss… until the line between their fantasies and reality blurs. Two actors swap parts each performance, role-playing servant and master, indulging their fantasies of control and wealth while on the clock as housemaids. Inspired by anti-capitalist metatheatrical play The Maids, Jean Genet’s response to the Papin murders in 1930s France which he saw as an act of political and social rebellion. Drag performance, audience interaction and gender-f*ckery are utilized to explore rituals of repression and revolt.
