Death And The Maiden
A Triada Theatre Production, fresh from its debut in Brighton this summer where it received the status of ‘groundbreaking work’ by Fringe review –
Death and the Maiden was written in 1990 by Chilean playwright Ariel Dorfman. Set in an unnamed country emerging from a dictatorship, the play explores the after effects of repression on peoples’ lives, mental health and relationships. Relentlessly paced and filled with lethal surprises, it is an inquest into the darker side of humanity–one in which everyone is implicated and justice itself comes to seem like a fragile, perhaps ambiguous invention.
“Triada Theatre don’t so much break a fourth wall as pick it up, port it and enter your home with it intact.” Fringe Review 2022.
