To conclude its 9th Season, The Seeing Place presents Genet's classic black comedy, THE MAIDS, in rep with MEASURE FOR MEASURE.

In THE MAIDS,Solange and Claire are two housemaids who construct elaborate sadomasochistic rituals when their mistress (Madame) is away. The focus of their role-playing is the murder of Madame and they take turns portraying both sides of the power divide. Their deliberate pace and devotion to detail guarantees that they always fail to actualize their fantasies by ceremoniously "killing" Madame at the ritual's dénouement.

NOTE: We are now offering premium ticketing for productions at The Seeing Place - which includes exclusive seating in front row center for an intimate and thrilling experience (and extra leg room!). There are only 10 premium seats available per performance.
