“WHAT DID THE HEAD MAID SEE?”
SKAMPA THEATRE /ELBASAN/ALBANIA
By Joe Orton
A hotel employee caught up in the schizophrenic intrigues of a psychiatrist; a naked secretary hidden behind the bed curtain; an elegant lady drowned in al cohol and illicit embraces; a professor of psychiatry with surreal fantasies that disrupt the flow of events; and a policeman entering their space… All of this un folds in a haze created by Churchill’s cigar smoke. Orton brings forth passions, romantic expectations, pink photographs, burning desires, cases of abuse of power, and the weaving of strange and complex relationships between six peo ple—set in a hyperreality, an otherworldly dimension that is soft, yet profoundly touching and true.
