A classic of 20th-century theatre, Ariel Dorfman's Death and the
Maiden ran for a year in the West End, was a hit on Broadway and
was filmed by Roman Polanski starring Ben Kingsley and Sigourney
Weaver. A woman seeks revenge when the man she believes to have
been her torturer happens to re-enter her life. Death and the
Maiden was given a first reading at the Institute for Contemporary
Art in London in November 1990. After a workshop production staged
in Santiago, Chile, in March 1991, the play had its world premiere
at the Royal Court Upstairs, London, in July 1991, transferring to
the Main Stage at the Royal Court in October. The play then
transferred to the West End, at the Duke of York's Theatre, in
February 1992. Death and the Maiden won the 1992 Olivier Award for
Best New Play.
