L’histoire : « Years after the fall of a dictatorship, a woman gets the chance to confront her torturer. Is it a time for forgiveness or revenge? She has to make the choice between forgiveness and revenge. What would YOU do?
Winner of the 1992 Olivier Award for Best Play, Ariel Dorfman’s explosively provocative drama is set in a country that has only recently returned to democracy.
Gerardo Escobar had just been chosen to head the commission that will investigate the crimes of the old regime when his car breaks down and he is picked up the humane doctor Roberto Miranda.
But in the voice of this Good Samaritan, Gerardo’s wife, Paulina Salas, thinks she recognizes another man – the one who raped and tortured her as she lay blindfolded in a military detention center years before.
Relentlessly paced and filled with lethal surprises, Death and the Maiden is an inquest into the darker side of humanity – one in which everyone is implicated and justice itself comes to seem like a fragile, perhaps ambiguous invention. »
