This revival of Jean Genet’s play will run at the theatre from the 13th October until the 29th November.
Complete casting has now been confirmed for Kip Williams’s production and adaptation of Jean Genet’s ‘The Maids’ which will officially open at the Donmar Warehouse on the 21st October.
Williams directs Yerin Ha, Phia Saban and Lydia Wilson in the world premiere of this new production of the play.
The Maids marks Kip William’s Donmar Warehouse debut following his acclaimed Olivier and Tony Award winning reimagining of The Picture of Dorian Gray and ahead of his adaptation of Dracula starring Cynthia Erivo playing all 23 roles opening at the Noël Coward Theatre next year.
With their mistress away, two maids act out their darkest fantasies as they obsessively role-play her murder, until performance and reality begin to blur.
This bold new translation of The Maids is a compelling, timely parable of modern identity and the destructive desire to both emulate and annihilate those we idolize.
Meanwhile, the creative team behind the show includes: Set Designer: Rosanna Vize; Costume Designer: Marg Horwell; Lighting Designer: Jon Clark, Sound Designer: Dan Balfour, Composer: DJ Walde and Video Designer: Zakk Hein.
