Revenge tragedy meets film noir in this seductively playful and incendiary show, press notes state. House-maid sisters Solange and Claire spend their days dreaming of escape, while their bourgeois employer Madame floats through life on champagne bubbles - until fantasies turn deadly in this thrilling psychological kaleidoscope of a play. Set in a phantasmagoric world of masks and mirrors, ceremonies and sensuality, heightened language and beautiful gesture, The Maids is ritualistic exploration of class, the nature of identity, and the power of imagination. Red Bull Theater presents this rare revival, the first major New York revival of this modern classic in years, in an intimate and immersive setting with limited seating in the round.

The Maids will have set design by Dane Laffrey (Boys in the Band), costume design by Sara Jean Tosetti (The Exonerated), lighting design by Peter West (Witch of Edmonton), and sound design by Brandon Wolcott (Titus Andronicus).?Red Bull Theater, hailed as "the city's gutsiest classical theater" by Time Out New York, is the not-profit Off-Broadway theater company specializing in plays of heightened language, with a unique focus on the Jacobean plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. In the 2012 season, building on its history of Revelation Readings and In The Raw Workshops, the company expands its production repertoire to include world classics from all eras, starting with Jean Genet's The Maids. Red Bull Theater will continue to produce large-scale works from Shakespeare's era and rarely produced classics from across the spectrum as it expands the number of full productions on offer per season. Following The Maids, the company plans a full-scale revival of Ben Jonson's classic Jacobean comedy, Volpone. Red Bull Theater embraces the imagination of theatergoers through intimate, imaginative productions of great classic stories.

Benefit Gala Night for The Maids will be March 11th with special guests Judd Hirsch, Estelle Parsons, Matthew Rauch, and more to be announced.
