Description

The theatrical group "Solo for Three" present the show with the same name based on the play of jean Genet "The Maids" translated into Greek by Odysseas Elytis.

Plot:
Two sisters are live-in servants to a wealthy Madame, well established and highly regarded within her extensive social circles. Whilst she is out enjoying the highlife, the two maids relieve the boredom and frustrations of their humble lives by role-playing in Madame's lavish boudoir. They take turns in dominating and humiliating each other by acting out pseudo-erotic "Madame and servant" games, a sort of 1940's "doctors and nurses". This provides an outlet for their escapist desires - they crave to break free from their humdrum lives.
