Description

Ariel Dorfman's Purgatorio is a powerful and poetic play that explores the complexities of human relationships and the nature of forgiveness. Set in a soul-less white room, two individuals are interrogated by each other as they struggle to come to terms with their past actions. As they navigate this purgatory, both characters seek redemption and contrition, but one has crossed a line that cannot be forgiven. The play is a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition, echoing the works of Jean-Paul Sartre and Euripides. First performed in 2005 at the Seattle Repertory Theatre, Purgatorio was later staged in the UK at the Arcola Theatre in 2008. This edition is published by Nick Hern.
