Because of last week’s winter storm and campus closure, the Stephen F. Austin State University School of Theatre has altered this week’s performance schedule for Jean Genet’s “The Maids.”
“The Maids” will open at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 26, with additional performances at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 27, and at 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 28. Inspired by an actual murder case, “The Maids” shows the title characters, Solange and Claire, entertaining violent fantasies about murdering their employer. The work explores issues of violence, jealousy, mental health, sexuality, gender and class. The play is recommended for mature audiences.
