FROME DRAMA PRESENTS JEAN GENET’S THE MAIDS

3 July @ 9:00 pm - 10:30 pm
Event Series (See All)
£15

An intimate reimagining of Genet’s The Maids, set in contemporary Frome and performed at the Archangel.

In a curated bedroom of shabby-chic luxury and new-age calm, two local cleaners rehearse roles, rituals and revenge. Their employer — a glossy newcomer from the Babington House set — is always present, even when absent.

Voicenotes replace letters. Livestreams replace confessions. Screens watch back. Filtered through the language of social media and self-performance, Genet’s dark fantasy of class, power and desire unfolds at close quarters.

What is real?
What is performed?
And who controls the narrative?

Unsettling. Playful. Dangerously intimate.
Adult themes.

Times stated are start of performance. Please arrive early to be seated.
