THE MAIDS Challenges Love, Sexuality & Crime 6/9-7/5 At Greenwich Playhouse

The notorious sisters are back in Greenwich after 35 years

In the secrecy of Madame's boudoir, surrounded by a sweet scent of gladioli and mimosa two sisters viciously plot revenge against their employer.

Loosely based on the infamous Papin sisters, who brutally murdered their employer and her daughter, the play is staged as a truly modern tale of the beautiful and the damned. Set within the pop culture and media world of the 21st century, the play challenges the boundaries between love, sexuality and criminal intent.

"...the cast successfully bring home Genet's belief that illusion is the only reality and that reality is a lie, which is in itself an illusion." Homovision

Following a successful one week, sold out run at the Etcetera Theatre, Nomads of Bazar are transferring Genet's classic to Greenwich, where "The Maids" last performed in 1974 with Glenda Jackson, Susannah York and Vivien Merchant.

A production that will assault all your senses! Fast paced and time pressured as the world we live in; it questions, unsettles and moves. Bittersweet and haunting, it stays with the audience long after the play is finished...
