Earnest Jester Productions & Beau O’Reilly Present The Maids. Stop checking your 401K balance…go hear the story of two maids, one mistress–a devious and violent triangle of love, hatred and disgust. This is a story so good that will take your mind off–if not explain–the market’s recent nosedive, and plug you into the sad truth and the dirty lowdown on ‘absolute power that corrupts absolutely’.
In his notorious first play, convicted felon Jean Genet takes the elements of the thriller–jealousy, murder, betrayal–and subverts them with his own disturbing games of language, transgression and transformation. Veteran Curious Theater Branch member, Katherine Teichman, takes audiences for a wild ride and an even wilder journey into the meaning of classism with this hungry and startling classic–just in time for Halloween.
