May 24 - 29, 2024
Wendy Kesselman's award-winning psychodrama explores the true story of a murder committed by two sisters who were both maids in the same house in France in the 1930s. The play explores the tensions at work that brought about their motivations to commit such an act. This story also inspired Genet's The Maids.
This production is performed by final year actors at the Lir Academy's conservatoire acting program.
