Death and the Maiden – HAODS
Ariel Dorfman’s gripping psychological thriller Death and the Maiden is compelling, thought-provoking, relentlessly paced and filled with surprises. Presented fifty years after Pinochet’s infamous coup in Chile, which inspired Dorfman to begin writing it, the play asks a gamut of moral and emotional questions that are all too relevant today.
Death and the Maiden had its premiere at the Royal Court in October 1991 and the following February transferred to the West End. It won the 1992 Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play and has since been staged worldwide. In 1994, it was adapted into a film by Roman Polanski. Actors who have performed in previous stage and screen productions include Juliet Stevenson, Glenn Close, Richard Dreyfuss, Gene Hackman, Sigourney Weaver, Ben Kingsley, and Thandie Newton
