"My spurt of saliva is my spray of diamonds”

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 idolize. Kip Williams follows his international hit production of The Picture of Dorian Gray with this wild reimagining of Jean Genet’s classic play.
