‘The Maids’

Jean Genet’s ‘The Maids,’ staged by Charlotte experimental theater troupe XOXO, is based loosely on two sisters who murdered their employer in 1933. It’s often seen as a kind of funhouse mirror where the two murderous maids imitate one another and their intended victim. Director Matt Cosper and his talented cast promise “bold physicality, wicked humor and a talent for making the familiar strange and the strange familiar.”
