The Maids by Jean Genet That Theatre Group Graeme Phillips
The result is an absurd world where boundaries between reality and performance dissolve. Directed by Elinor Randle, this production will fuse opera, spectacle and movement in a lavish set designed by Ashley Shairp. Samuel Perez Duran and Cameron McKendrick star as the maids, with Jane Hogarth reprising her celebrated role as the Mistress from the 1992 staging. Bringing stalwarts of Liverpool’s theatre scene together from the last 40 years, this is the former Artistic Director’s final foray into making art at Unity Theatre. Themes of oppression, isolation, and incarceration will be explored through a participatory programme with Afloat, a company of refugees and asylum seekers led by Phoebe McSweeney. Workshops with care-home residents will create handmade flowers, displayed in the Unity foyer. Translation by Benedict Andrews and Andrew Upton. Produced by That Theatre Group.Wednesday 15th — Thursday 16th October 7:30 & 2:30pm
There will be a post show discussion after the performance on the 15th October.
