Death and the Maiden (Dramatized) Audiobook

" I think this play summarizes in a nutshell the severe emotional trauma that South American dictatorships wrought upon the continent, even if it's just about post-Pinochet Chile. The ultimate moral dilemma, and a discussion of who deserves to die, or mete out death as a punishment. "

" This play (and I listened to it as a play) twisted and turned in ways I didn't expect, but I didn't enjoy it. The topic is a sensitive one, and this is a good reaction to 'the happening' yet I just couldn't get myself involved. Perhaps reading it would give me a different outcome, but I have too many other books to read so I doubt I will. "

" This book is very astonoshing representing what occured in chile while pinochet took over. I think paulina well represented all the people that got kidnapped and put through severe conditions "

" Went in directions I didn't expect. I haven't read many plays in my time, but this one is short and easy to read. The story is pretty disturbing but definitely an interesting character study and the ending is one that you could discuss with friends for a long time. "

" DRAMA PSICOLOGICO "

" Excellent portrayal of the social challenges of post- conflict justice reform. A very passionate read. Set in Chile! "

" In pre-production "

" Dark but unflinching look at oppression, abuse and its social as well as personal consequences. Much better as a play than a film, Sigourney Weaver and Ben Kingsley notwithstanding. "

" What Dorfman has created is overpowering, but in a really good way. Issues like oppressive, manipulative governments, injustice, and rape need to be addressed where they are otherwise ignored and "not appropriate to talk about" when things like that actually happen all the time. "

" This is one of the best things I have ever read. EVER. I don't know if I would have enjoyed it as much without Ruth Wood's insight about the surrounding politics, but it was fantastic and horrible. Feminists (male or female) would probably like it. "

" Above everything, the story is disturbing, turbulent, and confusing -- the perfect atmosphere for an allegory of Pinochet's regime. "

" Super short play about three people in a newly democratized Latin American nation. Great insight into memory, vengeance, democratization, historical redemption. Wish I'd seen a performance of it, though, especially for the ending. "

" Very interesting. Would love to see it on stage. "

" Powerful. A must-read for anyone interested in human rights. The movie version is good but doesn't follow the dialogue all that exactly. "

" The movie with sigourney weaver and ben kingsley is great, too. "

" Touching play about a woman who meets with her former torturer. It is psychologically a hard book, but reveals the wounds left by a time when torture was used in my country. "

" This play was intense, and I enjoyed it a lot. It left a lot of questions unanswered, but I think it was better that way. "

" I've never seen this performed (though I did see the movie), but the reading experience was visceral. I should re-read. "

" This is very painful to read. I wrote an essay on torture and sexual difference as seen in this play. My sympathies changed so many times when reading this. "

" Very intense. Deals with the after-effects of being tortured. Is very challenging and makes you think about those experiences in ways you might not have otherwise. "

" read for my graduate research course: human rights in latin american literature. everyone should read this play. ariel dorfman is among my favorite writers of all time. he has a wonderful way of asking deep questions and refusing to give simplistic answers. "
