Produktbeschreibung

A woman seeks revenge when the man she believes to have been her torturer happens to re-enter her life.

Years have passed since political prisoner, Paulina, suffered at the hands of her captor: a man whose face she never saw, but whom she can still recall with terrifying clarity.

Tonight, by chance, a stranger arrives at the secluded beach house she shares with her husband Gerardo, a human rights lawyer. A stranger Paulina is convinced was her tormentor and must now be held to account...

Ariel Dorfman's play premiered at the Royal Court in 1991, and is now recognised as a modern classic. It 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.
