Death and the Maiden

Suspense mounts when Paulina and her husband offer hospitality to a stranger. Paulina thinks she recognizes, in their guest, the man who tortured her in prison, and she subsequently takes him hostage to find out the truth. A stunningly blunt and compelling play, Ariel Dorfman's Death and the Maiden explores brilliantly the issues of torture, power, vulnerability, ethics, and trust. Runtime: 1:23
