The Maids

Set on a humid, late-summer night in the latter half of the 1940s, this rendition of Genet's twisted tale of class rebellion evokes a context reminiscent of post-WWII New Orleans.

The Maids, like many of Genet's works, tells the story of individuals desperate to break out of the suffocating confines they were born into - their only hope of escape being to take the imaginative leap into a part they were not born to play. As in life, happy endings are not guaranteed, but as many artists will attest, sometimes a daring act witnessed and applauded is just as satisfying.

WOW!  Looks like someone shook out Genet and gave "The Maids" a fresh look.  Wish I could have seen it.
