	BBC - Coventry and Warwickshire Stage - Death and the Maiden
		Death and the Maiden, for which Chilean playwright Ariel Dorfman won the Laurence Olivier Award in 1992, was the latest production of the Warwick University Drama Society, who continue to bring adventurous and high-profile drama to the Arts Centre.
		Dorfman's play is set in an isolated beach-house, where Paulina, the wife of a human rights lawyer, confronts the doctor who tortured her 15 years earlier and, in the process, orchestrates a remorselessly cathartic episode of personal and national trauma.
		Although rooted in the Pinochet regime, Death and the Maiden explores wider questions of justice, revenge and the consequences of repression for both the victims and perpetrators of torture.

	KDHX Theatre Review - Death and the Maiden (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Ariel Dorfman’s play Death and the Maiden is no-holds-barred scrutiny of the human capacity to be cruel, and though its ending is optimistic, it nevertheless leaves the audience reluctant to look in the mirror, for fear of finding signs in our own faces confirming that this capacity is part of our nature.
		Into the home of a young couple comes, by the purest happenstance, a stranger, who turns out to be – at least in the mind of the wife – the very man who had presided over her torture, rape, and humiliation ten years ago.
		Even the fact that the actors are rather young for their characters – especially John Shepherd as the doctor – doesn’t undercut the power of the second and third act scenes in which Dorfman yanks the audience from sympathy to revulsion to fear with bewildering speed.

	Emanuel Levy : Review - Death and the Maiden
		Polanksi understands that for such a political, message play to be effective it needs to be framed as an exciting thriller and that's the strategy that he takes.
		Visually, Death and the Maiden is a tour-de force, accentuated by the fact that it's set at night, during heavy rain storms, in an isolated house, miles away from the nearest town.
		Paulina was blindfolded during her humiliation, but she claims she can positively identify Miranda by his voice, his speech, his body smell, most of all his passion for Schubert's "Death and the Maiden" quartet, which he played while torturing her.

		Maiden have dun it agen-an in suberb style!, this is probably the best maiden album since 1988's "Seventh son of a Seventh son" album even tho "FOTD" and "NPFTD" were also great.
		Dance of Death is a MUST in any self respecting rock fans collection, my personal fave album is 7th Son of a 7th son, the current Maiden line up is awesome on record as well as Live...My only hope is the world does not have to wait too long before another Maiden album and tour.

		She herself was tortured mercilessly, and she thinks the new President is convening a whitewash, because he plans to investigate only deaths instead of torture cases such as her own, where the victims are still alive to speak up.
		Polanski follows the play closely, to the extent that the dialogue is compressed and stylized in a way that the naturalistic presentation can't always cover.
		Death and the Maiden stays small-scale and low-key, building suspense beautifully until we're wondering if it matters whether or not Miranda is the guilty party.

	Death and the Maiden review (1994) - Qwipster's Movie Reviews
		Based on Ariel Dorfman's play, who also co-wrote the screen play, DEATH AND THE MAIDEN is an engaging, multi-textured story about revenge, passion, and how abuse of power is seductive, especially if put into the wrong hands.
		While DEATH AND THE MAIDEN does feature some interesting drama, it's a bit gimmicky, and the cast, while undoubtedly fine actors, seem a bit out of place in their respective roles.
		DEATH AND THE MAIDEN is a complex film given simple treatment, and makes for worthwhile viewing for its food for thought and good, tense dramatics.

	Death and the Maiden by Ariel Dorfman, Search Cheap Books, Discount Books, ISBN 1854591754
		The play focuses on a woman who finds herself in the position to exact revenge upon a man whom she believes to have been her torturer 15 years earlier.
		The play centers around the character of Paulina, a woman who ultimately kidnaps the man she suspects of holding her prisoner and presiding over her torture and rape many years ago.
		It's a suspenseful play that tackles the issues of justice and retribution, but it also has elements of suspense and mystery: is Dr. Miranda really the person that Paulina thinks he is? This is an excellent play that's fairly well-known, yet it's hardly ever staged for some reason, which is a shame.

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: Death and the Maiden
		Based on the acclaimed stage play, the story goes that Weaver is the wife of rich South American lawyer/politician Gerardo Escobar (played by Stuart Wilson), and they live alone in the wilderness of this unnamed country.
		Paulina suspects Miranda was the doctor who tortured and raped her 15 years earlier: the doctor, she says, who played the Schubert composition "Death and the Maiden" while he applied his evil ministrations.
		Death and the Maiden lacks that gritty edge-of-your-seat suspense but makes up for it with a sick-to-your-stomach feeling through Paulina's recreations of her torture.

	Kingsley recasts himself anew in Polanski's Maiden (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Roman Polanski's recent film Death and the Maiden is a psychological thriller made all the more frightening by the knowledge that it is based upon the political tactic of terror employed by many dictatorships in South America.
		Sigourney Weaver plays Paulina Escobar, a woman who believes she recognizes, by the sound of his voice, the man who tortured her years before to the tune of Schubert's Death and the Maiden.
		Stuart Wilson plays her husband, who, like the audience, is unsure whether his wife is taking revenge upon the correct man. Wilson makes the best of what is certainly the weakest of the three roles.

	Salon Entertainment \| Home Movies by Charles Taylor: Latin American Gothic
		For Dorfman, Gerardo is the play's voice of sanity; for Polanski, he stands for the blissfully ignorant certainty of principles untested by experience.
		If "Death and the Maiden" were solely a justification of Paulina's actions, it would have the easy comfort of a revenge fantasy.
		Paulina says, "It's time for me to reclaim my Schubert." But as she sits in a concert hall at the film's coda, listening to "Death and the Maiden" while Miranda sits with his family in a private box, she looks cut off from the music, unable to trust what it's telling her ever again.

		Second, that the "Death And The Maiden" plot concerns an upper middle class wife who fortuitously becomes the kidnapper of the man who presided over her torture and rape when she was a student dissident working for the overthrow of the regime.
		By the next scene Paulina has heard the Good Samaritan's voice and is convinced that Miranda is the sadistic doctor who supervised her torture, the doctor who played a tape of Schubert's "Death And The Maiden" while he raped her.
		The tangle is dense, both because of the sexual nature of the injury and because of the gender roles that circumscribe the characters.

		The premise, which also formed the backdrop for the Ariel Dorfman play upon which this film is based, is a solid one, brimming with potential for a great dramatic thriller -- potential that is never realized in the film.
		There are several problems with Death and the Maiden.
