«Las Criadas» is the play by French writer Jean Genet, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback, with 112 pages and text in Spanish.
Written in 1947, this piece with a ritual tone is related to the theatre of cruelty and the absurd. Genet reflects the society of his time through a poetic and at the same time human language, in which crime, hatred, revenge, power, submission and jealousy explore the darkest side of the human being.
It belongs to the El Libro de Bolsillo collection of Alianza Editorial (no. 935). Translation by Luce Moreau Arrabal from the French original Les bonnes, with revision by Miguel Salabert.
For readers of European theatre and followers of twentieth-century dramaturgy interested in the theatre of the absurd and of cruelty.
Jean Genet was a French novelist, playwright, poet, essayist, and political activist. In his early life he was a vagabond and petty criminal, but he later became a writer and playwright. His major works include the novels The Thief's Journal and Our Lady of the Flowers and the plays The Balcony, The Maids and The Screens.
