When Gerardo's (Steve Mouzakis) car breaks down, a passing stranger, Roberto (Eugene Gilfedder), gives him a lift home, Gerardo's wife, Paulina (Susie Porter), recognises the stranger's voice and she believes Roberto was the torturer who raped her years earlier when she was detained as political prisoner.
Paulina's revenge is the subject of 'Death and the Maiden', Ariel Dorfman's play based on events in Chile arising from the Pinochet regime.
A harrowing one act play well acted by the trio of performers.
★★★1/2
