Death and the Maiden
by Ariel Dorfman

A modern classic, a thriller of extraordinary power and with universal themes of what humanity is capable of and how we deal with the consequences of inhumanity. Amnesty International New Zealand joins the Newmarket Stage Company to present this telling, challenging and gripping tale in which we all end up questioning ourselves, our attitudes, our responses. The play has been recognized worldwide as an important piece of literature and has become a study piece for students, academics, actors and audiences. It will not fail to please as a piece of essential theatre. The production is directed by John Callen and stars New Zealand arts laureate George Henare with Tatiana Hotere and Edwin Wright.
