Cathie Sheridan, Robert Stevens and Frank Benge star in Ariel Dorfman's "Death and the Maiden", directed by Veronica Prior. This taut, psychological thriller begins in an unnamed South American country. When Paulina's husband returns with Dr. Miranda, a stranger who picked him up after his own car broke down. Something in the stranger's voice chills Paulina. Paulina take Dr. Miranda hostage and then describes a terrible incident from her past in which she was captured, blindfolded and repeatedly savaged by a sadistic doctor. The vengeful Paulina is convinced that Miranda is that doctor and wants a full confession from him. Thus begins a torturous, darkly erotic excursion as Miranda and Paulina verbally spar their way toward the truth.
