Résumé

Years have passed since political prisoner Paulina suffered at the hands of her captor: a man whose face she never saw, but can still recall with terrifying clarity. Tonight, by chance, a stranger arrives at the secluded beach house she shares with her husband Gerardo, a human rights lawyer. A stranger Paulina is convinced was her tormentor and must now be held to account... Death and the Maiden is one of the most successful and highly acclaimed works of twentieth-century drama. A profoundly moving indictment of the torture carried out by regimes and dictators, such as Chile's General Pinochet, it has become a modern classic studied both for the power of its message and the deceptively simple skill of the playwright in putting that message across. One of the most important and deeply humane plays of our time.
