Death and the Maiden

<strong>An NCPA Production</strong> <strong>By Ariel Dorfman</strong> In a country emerging from dictatorship, the past refuses to stay buried. When Paulina Salas, a former political prisoner, encounters a stranger late one night, she is convinced he is the man who once tortured her. As her husband Gerardo, now appointed to a national human rights commission, struggles to uphold the rule of law, Paulina takes justice into her own hands, staging a chilling trial that blurs the line between truth and memory. Is this a reckoning… or a descent into vengeance? Ariel Dorfman’s electrifying psychological thriller examines trauma, power, and the cost of justice in a world where certainty is elusive. Premiering in 1990, Death and the Maiden by Ariel Dorfman quickly became an international success, produced across major theatres in Europe, the United States, and Latin America. Widely regarded as a defining political drama of the late 20th century, it was later adapted into a 1994 film, starring Sigourney Weaver and Ben Kingsley, further cementing its status as a modern classic. <strong>Co-produced by Lila Naatak Co.</strong> <strong>Cast </strong> Ira Dubey Vivek Gomber Neil Bhoopalam <strong>Director</strong> Bruce Guthrie <strong>Creative Team</strong> Designer: Simon Kenny Lighting Designers: Arghya Lahiri & Yael Crishna Sound Designer: Rahul Nadkarni Composer: Andrew T.
