Set in a phantasmagoric world of masks and mirrors, ceremonies and sensuality, heightened language and beautiful gesture, The Maids is ritualistic exploration of class, the nature of identity, and the power of imagination.
Presented in a uniquely intimate setting with Limited Seating – Don’t miss out on the first major New York revival of this modern classic in years – Tickets on sale to the general public by February 7th.
