Elite Theatre (Oxnard, CA)
Fifteen years after Paulina Escobar’s torture at the hands of her government’s secret police, she comes face to face with a man she believes she recognizes as one of her tormentors. Brought into her home unknowingly by her husband, this stranger sounds to Paulina unnervingly like the man who once raped and viciously abused her as she lay blindfolded in a military detention center years before. What evolves is a tense and riveting look at how one woman deals with her humiliation and pain at the hands of a sadistic torturer. Winner of an Olivier Award for Best New Play when it premiered, Death and the Maiden was written by acclaimed Chilean playwright Ariel Dorfman, and adapted into a 1994 Roman Polanski film starring Sigourney Weaver. Now it comes to the Elite Theatre Company in Oxnard.
