Thrills. Sex. Social critique. The Maids is a play that has it all. Making its return to the West End after 20 long years, this contemporary adaptation of Jean Genet's masterpiece has Jamie Lloyd at its directorial helm and a powerhouse trio of actors in support. Uzo Aduba (Orange Is The New Black), Zawe Ashton (Fresh Meat) and Laura Carmichael (Downton Abbey) take the lead roles in this explosive psycho-drama. In a luxurious bedroom, two maids fantasise about killing their employer, playing out increasingly sadistic scenarios as they plot her murder. A provocative exploration of sexuality and a seething examination of the class system, this is a play that brims with energy and importance. Miss it at your peril. Trafalgar Studios is London's most exciting new venue and prides itself as a starting place for new productions to find their home in London. The theatre was Grade II listed by English Heritage in December 1996, noting, "The auditorium has a decorative cohesion and prettiness rare in theatres of its day, and has the best surviving original fabric of this type of theatre." ★★★★☆ – The Guardian ★★★★☆ – The Times ★★★★☆ – Arts Desk ★★★★☆ – Whats On Stage ★★★★☆ – London Theatreland ★★★★☆ – The Reviews Hub Recommended for ages 12 and up.
