| Chilean author Ariel Dorfman’s 1990 play DEATH AND THE MAIDEN is set in an unnamed country that is probably Chile as it emerges from a long period of dictatorship and adjusts to life under a fledgling democratic government. Even as the nation struggles to reinvent itself, one woman’s road to recovery from captivity and torture is strewn with psychological obstacles that threaten her husband’s career, their marriage, and her very sanity. Commonwealth Shakespeare Company Artistic Director Steven Maler’s taut direction of Flora Diaz, Mickey Solis, and Mark Torres results in a riveting production in the Babson College Sorenson Center’s blackbox theater. Performances through February 11 in Wellesley, MA |
