Based on a famous double-murder case, Jean Genet's 1947 play explores
the dark and romantic side of master/servant relationships. When
their mistress is away, sisters and maids Solange and Claire perform
a violent and expressive ritual. The game, deadly and captivating,
allows the girls to act out their desire to murder both their
employer and themselves. Genet, always challenging his society, dares
his audience not to blink as an impossible idea suddenly becomes
tangible reality.

Martin Crimp's translation uses the revised ending Genet wrote for
the play's first production, and is the only English translation that
uses this ending. In this sleek, intense, and forceful new
translation, West Coast audiences will finally see Genet's play as he
originally intended.
