Description
The Maids and Deathwatch Two Plays by Jean Genet A collection of two plays that mark a significant shift in Genet's work, as he begins to analyze the complexities of bourgeois society. In The Maids, two domestic workers seek revenge against their employer, but their actions are ultimately driven by a darker fantasy. Meanwhile, in Deathwatch, two convicts try to impress a third, who is on the verge of achieving legendary status in criminal circles. Both plays explore themes of power, respect, and the lengths to which individuals will go to achieve their goals. This volume brings together Genet's early attempts at analyzing the mores of a society he had previously critiqued. The result is two thought-provoking plays that offer insight into the human condition.
