| Description |
Tonight, a stranger calls. For Paulina Salas, his voice triggers a memory she has long tried to suppress. Through months in captivity under a brutal regime she never saw her captor’s face, but she heard his voice, calm yet menacing. A voice she will never forget. When her husband invites a stranger back to their isolated beach house, she hears that voice again.
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 |
