DEATH AND THE MAIDEN Political Thriller to be Presented at Pangea World Theater

Pangea World Theater will present Death and the Maiden, the riveting political thriller by playwright Ariel Dorfman and directed by Ismail Khalidi. The production will run from October 25 to November 2, 2024, at Pangea World Theater Studio in Minneapolis.

Set in an unnamed country transitioning out of a U.S.-backed dictatorship, Death and the Maiden follows Paulina Escobar as she confronts a stranger whose voice she believes to be that of the man who tortured her years before. In a tense and gripping 24 hours, Paulina's husband is caught between trusting his wife's traumatic memories or the seemingly respectable visitor, Dr. Roberto Miranda.

This production, which tackles themes of state violence, trauma, and the search for justice, is both timely and timeless as it explores the long-lasting scars of repression on individuals and society.
