Notes: | Original Playwright - Jean Genet | |||||
Synopsis: | In The Maids, the sisters do not succeed in their ghastly mission as the real Papin sisters did. Instead, we see Claire playacting as the despised madame-blond wig, red velvet dress and all-and Solange pretending to be Claire, preparing to kill her. They get so wrapped up in the details of their hatred, however, that they run out of time to simulate the act. In real life, Solange once attempted to kill their condescending, unsympathetic madame but failed, and once the game of make believe is over and the madame returns, it will be Claire's turn to try. Claire also fails, so in the end she kills herself with the same poisoned cup of tea meant for madame. | |||||
