The production will begin performances at the theatre on the 13th October and will play until the 29th November.
Rehearsal images have now been released for Kip Williams’ new adaptation and production of Jean Genet’s The Maids, which will officially open on the 21st October.
The world premiere of this new production is set to star Yerin Ha, Phia Saban and Lydia Wilson . It marks Kip Willliams directorial debut at the Donmar Warehouse following his critically 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 version of The Maids is a compelling, timely parable of modern identity and the destructive desire to both emulate and annihilate those we idolize.
Also on the creative team are: Set Designer: Rosanna Vize; Costume Designer: Marg Horwell; Lighting Designer: Jon Clark, Sound Designer: Dan Balfour, Composer: DJ Walde and Video Designer: Zakk Hein.
