Ariel Dorfman Drama 2m, 1f Interior Winner, 1992 Sir Laurence Olivier Award for Best Play of the London Season.
Winner, 1996 - 5 Dora Awards Tony award-winning Glenn Close, Richard Dreyfuss and Gene Hackman starred on Broadway in this political thriller. Set in an unnamed country that is, like the author's native Chile, emerging from a totalitarian dictatorship, the play explores the after effects of repression on hearts and souls. Paulina Escobar's husband Gerardo is to head an investigation into past human rights abuses. A Dr. Miranda stops at Escobars' to congratulate Gerardo. Paulina overhears them speaking and is convinced that Miranda supervised her prison torture sessions. She ties him to a chair and conducts her own interrogation, gun in hand. Escobar doesn't know whether to believe his distraught wife or his persuasive new friend. This white knuckle thriller is a rivetting intellectual and emotional tug of war. "Searing." - Christian Science Monitor "Magnificent...One of those rare plays which...seem to grasp the pulse of the century." -London Financial Times "A terrifying moral thriller which combines brilliant theatricality with clear thought and fierce compassion." -London Sunday Times "Suspenseful, rivetting...[and] movingly personal." -The New York Times FEE: $75 per performance.
