The Maids (Slideshow)

Here's a slideshow of the pictures taken during our one-night-only performance (2003) of The Maids by Jean Genet, directed by Marte Nerona, featuring Ronnie Martinez (as Soledad, the older maid), Paul Santiago (as the Señora), and myself (as Clara, the younger maid).

Here's an article on the play taken from Wikipedia:

Genet loosely based his play on the infamous Papin sisters, Lea and Christine, who brutally murdered their employer and her daughter in Le Mans, France, in 1933, although the play is not the story of the Papin sisters as such. Solange and Claire are two housemaids who construct elaborate sadomasochistic rituals when their mistress (Madame) is away. The focus of their theatrical playing is the murder of Madame, and they take turns portraying either side of the power divide. The deliberate pace and devotion to detail guarantees that they always fail to actualize their fantasies by ceremoniously "killing" Madame at the ritual's denouement. The play was first produced by Louis Jouvet in 1947.
