Full casting is announced for our major new production of Jean Genet’s The Maids. Based on the true story of murderous duo The Papin sisters, Genet’s infamous The Maids is a radical modern classic.
In the title roles are Jake Fairbrother (Skyfall) as Claire and Luke Mullins (Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead, The Old Vic) as Solange. Danny Lee Wynter (The Miser, The Royal Exchange) completes the cast in the role of Madame.
In addition to the cast announcement, we’re also excited to share with you the plans to transform our main house theatre for The Maids into the round for the first time. Building over the stalls seating area, the stage will be raised up to the height of the circle – and audiences will be able to watch from both on and off the stage in a specially built seating area.
