Play reading: Death and the Maiden by Ariel Dorfman
(Trigger Warning: Strictly for over 18s)
Ariel Dorfman’s modern masterpiece is a gripping psychological thriller set in a post-dictatorship Chile. Paulina, a former political prisoner, believes the stranger her husband brings home is the doctor who tormented her years ago. The problem? She never saw his face.
This powerful play is a celebrated statement on civil rights, exploring trauma, justice, and survival. The performance will be followed by a Q&A session hosted by director Paul Walsh. Featuring Seona O'Connor, Stephen Byrne, and Andy Doyle. Directed by Paul Walsh and assisted by Rachel Meadows.
