Yerin Ha, Phia Saban and Lydia Wilson in the world premiere of this bold new translation written and directed by Kip Williams.
With their mistress away, two maids act out their darkest fantasies as they obsessively role-play her murder, until performance and reality begin to blur.
This bold new translation of The Maids is a compelling, timely parable of modern identity and the destructive desire to both emulate and annihilate those we idolise.
Kip Williams follows his international hit production of The Picture of Dorian Gray with this wild reimagining of Jean Genet’s classic play.
