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, Death and the Maiden explores brilliantly the issues of torture, power, vulnerability, ethics, and trust. An award-winning play by Chilean writer Ariel Dorfman, forced into exile in 1973.

There are some performances that open up truths and worlds that allow us to experience worlds beyond our ken and add to our understanding of the human condition. Then there are some that are simply vehicles for the actors to parade their talents. This is the latter. All that we get is acting and rather poor acting at that

Just Acting to little purpose.
