«Les Bonnes» is the play by Jean Genet, published by Belin-Gallimard in paperback (128 pages, in French).
Claire and Solange, two sisters who serve as maids in Madame's house, alternate submission with a secret theatrical game in which they enact the murder of their mistress and vie with each other for the role of Madame. The play turns this rite of servitude and rebellion into a reflection on identity, social class and power.
Premiered in 1947, it is Genet's most performed play. Edition from the Classico Lycée collection with complete text, notes, eight analysis sheets and material for the Bac.
Intended for French students preparing the Bac and for readers who want an annotated edition of this classic.
