...fates of Wilson, Sereena Abotsway, Andrea Joesbury, Brenda Ann Wolfe, Marnie Frey and Georgina Faith Papin are emerging in British Columbia Supreme Court, in the gritty Vancouver suburb of New Westminster. There, Pickton sits calmly behind bullet-resistant glass, an unimposing slim man with a fringe of lank grey hair around a bald pate. Now 57, he has become well-known in legal circles since his arrest in February 2002. But only now has the end of a Canadian publication ban, intended to ensure an impartial jury hearing, revealed the gruesome details of his case. Pickton has become instantly famous...
...play follows the sinister, sadomasochistic, and (almost literally) suffocating interactions of two maids, who yearn for freedom from the Ancien Régime, embodied by the tyrannical “Madame” (Laurel Holland ’07).

The playwright focuses on mother-daughter relationships, intimate sisterly affection and a rigid class structure that borders on the feudal droit du seigneur...
...Abysses, based on the actual double murder committed in 1933 by the Papin sisters, was assured of a favorable reception among the French avant-garde before the first frame of film began to roll through the camera. French intellectuals share a bizarre fixation for this particular crime; Genet, for example, based his play, The Maids, on it. As a result, Nico Papatakis, the director, may well have become too confident that every scene would have the emotional impact he intended. Unfortunately, they...
