Death and the Maiden

Death and the Maiden was written in 1990 by Chilean playwright Ariel Dorfman. Set in an unnamed country emerging from a dictatorship, the play explores the after effects of repression on peoples' lives. Relentlessly paced and filled with lethal surprises, it 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. A tense psychological thriller about justice and relationships that will keep you breathless!
