Jean Genet's masterpiece, loosely based on a news story that shook French public opinion in the 1930s, Le serve is a perfect theater device within the theater that lays bare the falsehood of the stage, "an extraordinary example of continuous reversal between being and appearing, between imagination and reality”, in the words of Jean-Paul Sartre.
The story written by Genet is that of two maids who both love and hate their mistress, Madame. The servants denounced her lover with anonymous letters. Learning that the lover will be released for lack of evidence, and that their betrayal will be discovered, they try to assassinate Madame, fail, they want to kill each other.sound dramaturgy
