| Description |
Genet's The Maids is a deeply sensual, layered text that uses a model of domestic servitude as a platform to explore metaphors relying to the construction of identity and human power relationships. The ceremonies and rituals of the maids are metaphors for the ceremony of the theatre itself and the words act as a platform from which to devise and create our own symbols and signs for the stage. |
