The Maids
Directed by Gabriele Jakobi
Featuring: Jenifer Deal, Nanna Ingvarsson and Danielle Davy
Marianne Meadows - Lights | Chris Pifer - Sound | Richard Montgomery - Set | Alisa Mandel - Costumes
A deep and surreal absurdist play about the love hate relationship those in servitude feel for those who hold their figurative chains. With parodies of social identity and class the show explores the complex layering of masks and identity as it relates to roles within society. The script is roughly based upon the story of a high profile murder case in 1930s France involving two young sisters working as maids and their relationship with their mistress.
Scena is proud to bring internationally renowned German director Gabriele Jakobi back to Washington to direct this production, featuring two recipients of the Helen Hayes best actress award, Jenifer Deal and Nanna Ingvarsson, along with Danielle Davy, who's strong French background includes study at the Université de Paris and work with Emanuel Ungaro in both New York and Paris.
This production is the second in Scena's 20th Anniversary Neveau Vague Season
