In 1994 , Roman Polański directed a film of the work, starring Sigourney Weaver as the victim and Ben Kingsley as the rapist. SYNOPSIS It portrays a night in the life of a rape victim, who suffered her rape while under the custody of an unspecified oppressive regime due to political crimes. The rapist played Schubert 's composition '' Death And The Maiden '' while raping her; hence the play's title. It is probable that Dorfman, as an Chilean Exile escaping the regime of Augusto Pinochet , has Chile in mind. EXTERNAL LINKS
