If you aren’t happy with your employer, why not just kill her? Such was the twisted thinking of the unhappy servant sisters presented in Jean Genet’s 1947 absurdist play, “The Maids,” in which two sadistic, unstable women repeatedly and joyfully act out their grotesque, mistress-murdering fantasies.
The mind-twisting Red Bull production, which opened Thursday night off-Broadway at the Theatre at St. Clements, is a crackling, suspenseful explosion of well-controlled debauchery. The power struggles and constant role-shifting between the two maids are rapid-fire and impressively handled.
