The Play
Paulina Salas is a woman who has been subjected to torture and rape under a previous government regime. One day, by chance, her husband brings home a man she is sure was her torturer, even though she was blindfolded and only ever heard his voice. Faced with her husband’s incredulity she takes the situation into her own hands and holds the man hostage, demanding his confession. He claims she is mistaken.
This is a very powerful drama. It contains some strong language, so if you are frightened by some words in the English language you may wish to avoid it.
