The Maids by Jean Genet at the Upper Jay Art Center
About the Event
Join the Upper Jay Art Center for their Fall theatre production of The Maids by Jean Genet. Claire and Solange are sisters and servants. Trapped in a life they didn't ask for and can't leave, they pass the time by impersonating their Madame. We watch as the two sisters begin to blur the lines between fantasy and reality as they roleplay their liberation. The Maids is a compelling, timely parable of class, identity, and the destructive desire to both emulate and annihilate those we idolize.
Written by Jean Genet
Performed by Katherine Norman, Jess Kemp, and Elyse Sinklier
Directed by Gabrielle Schutz
