This is a masterpiece
19 Dec 2005
Having studied and befriended Professor Dorfman while studying under him at Duke University, I came to know his tale, Death and the Maiden, very intimately. It is a universal story that will likely serve as his masterwork, and as a result, will serve as one of the theatre's most important and most original hallmarks of the 20th Century.
As other reviews have noted, the brief play very deeply and very engagingly touches on myriad issues related to war, to dissent, to love, to loyalty, to trust, to men and women; to memory; to torture; to government; and so on and so forth. It is brilliantly done, and is punctuated with an amount of restraint that renders this play unforgettable.
