| Description | Tonight, a stranger calls. For Paulina Salas, his voice triggers a memory she has long tried to suppress. Years ago, she was blindfolded, abducted and held as a political prisoner. She never saw her captors but she did hear them.
Ariel Dorfman’s award-winning play is a taut psychological thriller, both complex and captivating. For Paulina, reconciliation is an impossible compromise. For her husband, revenge is an intolerable injustice. Written in the wake of the Pinochet regime in Chile, Death and the Maiden puts the question: when the guilty have been made innocent, what are the innocent |
