Death and the Maiden Play by Ariel Dorfman (Farsi)

Death and the Maiden by Ariel Dorfman is a gripping play that explores themes of justice, revenge, and the psychological aftermath of political trauma. Set in a post-dictatorship society, the story revolves around Paulina, a woman who was tortured during the regime of a military dictatorship, and her encounter with a man she believes was one of her captors.

The central conflict in "Death and the Maiden" examines the complex emotional and moral dilemmas faced by individuals who have experienced severe trauma, as well as the broader societal challenges of dealing with a painful history.
