Maid Made Madame

Overview

Clumbsy Theater presents a radical adaptation of this French classic in the American style. Two maids and their Madame. An eccentric gay writer gives an interview. Gloves for the fashion and the crime. A corded phone on the floor. A fat blunt flicking ash onto your bosss picture. A rehearsal to eat the rich and burn it down crossdressed to the nines. Gaming a plan or planning a game? Jean Genets maids smeared across the stage beyond recognition. Let’s drink tea.
