Death and the Maiden
Author: Ariel Dorfman
Desc: 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 center years before.
