The Maids
''The Maids'' () is a play by the French dramatist Jean Genet. It was first performed at the Théâtre de l'Athénée in Paris in a production that opened on 17 April 1947, which Louis Jouvet directed.〔 and 〕 A film adaptation of the play was released in 1974. Swedish composer adapted the play in 1994 for a chamber opera. ==Background== Genet loosely based his play on the infamous sisters Christine and Léa Papin, who brutally murdered their employer and her daughter in Le Mans, France, in 1933. In an introduction written for ''The Maids'', Jean-Paul Sartre quotes a line from Genet's novel ''Our Lady of the Flowers'' in which a character muses that if he had a play written for women he'd cast adolescent boys in the parts. Sartre then speculates on having this idea applied to ''The Maids''. Some productions have cast men in the roles, but most have cast women.〔
