French dramatist Jean Genet is a rarity on British stages, and I can see why. There are more popular writers that do what he does, only better. Genet’s 1947 The Maids is never stark enough to match the claustrophobic brutality of Beckett, nor darkly comic enough to out menace Pinter.

Review: CYRANO DE BERGERAC at Pasadena Playhouse
by Evan Henerson - Sep 21, 2024
