Theater Review: “The Maids” and “Kenrex” — A Tale of Two Theatrical Experiments
8 / 10
The Maids is an ideal vehicle for Williams’s “cinetheatre” approach. Politically, his theatrical strategy addresses our moment, which is defined by mediated realities, performed identities, and widening class divisions. Williams’s technological innovations also serve the play’s drama of self-immolation; its barrage of images, screens, reflections, and heightened language intensifies the play’s exploration of narcissism.
