Although this play was written 70 years ago a good story is something that should be able to be read/watched no matter when it was written.

Based on a real life story of tow French maids who in 1933 killed their employer's wife and daughter.

A good play is an understatement, this was incredible.  I have always said I love gong to the theatre to feel and my gosh did I feel and I am still feeling two days later.

Woolloongabba Art Gallery was the venue for this production.  The audience was required to sit upstairs away from the busy main road of Stanley Street.

We sat against the wall vertically rather than horizontally in rows.  Using the paintings on the wall and the window to complement the dialogue.

The three characters used the space up and down so wherever they were everyone could see, in fact some audience members got very close to the "action".

The ladies had so much dialogue to remember and then the physicality of it was intense. It was one of those moments that you wanted to look away yet you wanted to see what happended next.

The interesting element of this play was the light was very bright for most of the story so you could see ther audience members reactions if you dared to look elsewhere.

The costumes in particular Madames were fabulous, showing that she had so much more class than her maids, Claire and Solange who were dressed in the usual maids attire that is until they try on Madame's red dress.

How did Madame wear her magniificant high heels? At times she looked like a cat walk model yet other time she paced the floor like she was in a cage.

This was a harrowing piece of theatre which restores my faith that exceptional theatre is here in Brisbane
