Death and the Maiden

Tonight, a stranger calls. For Paulina Salas, his voice triggers a memory she has long tried to suppress. Through months in captivity under a brutal regime she never saw her kidnapper’s face, but she heard his voice, calm yet menacing. A voice she will never forget. When her husband invites a stranger to their isolated beach house, she hears that voice again… Written in the wake of the Pinochet regime in Chile, Death and the Maiden boldly explores the complexities of truth, memory and the morality of retribution. Today, the story still resonates strongly as we watch dictatorships crumble across our world. Death and the Maiden is directed by Stephen Oliver. The cast is made up of Sharon Bezzina (Children of a Lesser God, Pretty Lisa) as Paulina Salas, Steffan Cheriet Busuttil (Festen, Rock of Ages) as Gerardo Escobar and Victor Debono (Noises Off, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest) as Roberto Miranda.
