  3. Death and the Maiden


Paulina Salas, a former political prisoner, and her husband Gerardo Escobar, a lawyer, live in a time of transition as their country shifts from dictatorship to democracy. After Gerardo is rescued from a flat tire on a country road by a doctor, Roberto Miranda, Roberto visits the couples' home only to find himself accused of rape and torture by Paulina. Paulina, insisting he is the sadistic doctor who tortured her as a blindfolded prisoner, takes Roberto hostage, and puts him on trial so he will confess his crimes. Roberto insists that he is innocent which leads to an all-night stand-off between the three. Complex relationships and thrilling twists and turns bring this story of love, betrayal, revenge, and forgiveness to a surprising conclusion that will have audiences talking long after the show has ended.


Ages: Recommended for audiences aged 16 and up. Contains strong language and themes.

Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, and Sundays at 3pm.
