DEATH AND THE MAIDEN
by Ariel Dorfman
Directed by Kim Dyas
In the aftermath of a cruel dictatorship, a nascent democracy attempts to right wrongs. Paulina and her husband Gerardo would appear ready to face this changing tide, however, a kindly stranger knocking on the door changes everything. On his arrival, Paulina believes she recognises the voice of her torturer from years before. Death and the Maiden examines themes of justice, retribution and guilt, and whether it is possible to heal when the impact of past crimes is irreparable.
This tense modern classic for three actors is perfectly suited to the intimacy of the studio.
