Mosaic Theatre Presents Death and the Maiden, 3/8-4/1

Award-winning Mosaic Theatre is excited to announce that Ariel Dorfman's Olivier Award Winning play and recent London hit, Death and the Maiden, will make its Regional Premiere and replace Conor McPherson's The Birds as the third show of the company's 2011-2012 season.

Executive/Artistic Director Richard Jay Simon said, "Playwright Conor McPherson requested that we delay our premiere and we will open our next season with The Birds in September. Selfishly, I'm excited about the switch because that gives me an opportunity to direct the piece which I absolutely love.Death and the Maiden is a modern classic that has always been a favorite of mine and I'm excited that we have the opportunity to do it. It's only a matter of time before this play is revived on Broadway and I'm pleased that we can do it first."

Tony Award winners 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. This white knuckle thriller is a riveting intellectual and emotional tug of war.

Guest director Avi Hoffman will direct a stellar cast featuring Award Winning Actors Stephen G. Anthony, Laura Turnbull and Oscar Cheda.

Death and the Maiden runs March 8 - April 1, Thursdays through Saturdays @ 8:00 with a Saturday matinee at 3:00 and a Sunday matinee at 2:00.
