The Maids at Greenwich Playhouse

 

A new production of The Maids by Jean Genet is coming to Greenwich. The play, based on the lives of the infamous Papin Sisters, was last performed in Greenwich in 1974 with a cast that included Glenda Jackson and Susannah York, who both appeared in the film adaptation.

The new adaption is being brought back to Greenwich, at the Playhouse theatre, by theatre company Nomads of Bazar.  They promise a production that will fuse “pop culture and our obsession with the media in the 21st century”  and challenge “the boundaries between love, sexuality and criminal intent”.

The Maids is at the Greenwich Playhouse from 9th June – 5th July 2009
Tues-Sat @ 8pm | Sun @ 4pm
Tickets: £12; £10 (Conc.)
