DEATH AND THE MAIDEN Begins Tonight at Players' Theatre

Death and the Maiden, written by Argentine-Chilean playwright Ariel Dorfman, and directed by Olivia Blocker will run from tonight, May 29th - 31st.

Ariel Dorfman's explosively provocative, award-winning drama is set in a country that has only recently returned to democracy. Gerardo Escobar has 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 by 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 centre years before. No ordinary revenge tale, this play is not simply a story of morality and power, but also the story of a woman's reclamation of her voice after a decade of silence. Death and the Maiden forces you to ask yourself: what would you do if you found someone who had abused you? Would you kill him? Would you tie him up and force him to confess? Are you even sure it's him?
