Two sisters, Solange and Claire, are maids to their wealthy, glamorous mistress in a big city apartment. When their Mistress is out, they pass time in her luxurious bedroom in an obsessive game of roleplaying 'servant and mistress', blurring reality and fantasy. Acting out the power structures that define their lives, suddenly an impossible idea becomes a shocking tangible reality.

Loosely inspired by a famous double-murder case, this gripping psychological thriller explores power, identity, and rebellion. What does power do to those who lack it? What does power do to those who possess it? Jean Genet's classic play has scandalised audiences since 1947, and Martin Crimp's translation captures the brilliance and energy of his writing in what is one of the great plays of the 20th century.

Two Maids, one Mistress – a devious triangle of love, hatred and disgust. Darkly compelling, disturbingly resonant, and boldly theatrical this work explodes onto The Street stage.

Featuring:
Christina Falsone as Solange
Sophia Marzano as Claire
Natasha Vickery as The Mistress

Director: Caroline Stacey
Designer: Kathleen Kershaw
Lighting Designer: Neil Simpson
