Written by Argentinian-Chilean novelist and playwright Ariel Dorfman, this play poses questions of justice and forgiveness. Are there crimes for which there can be no forgiveness? And if there is no chance for forgiveness, how do we move on with our lives? In Purgatorio, a man and a woman enter a sparse room and questions are asked that unveil the truths of their lives. Dorfman's tight script and evocative language help renew the story of Jason and Medea, presenting an inquiry into human relationships to audiences in a whole new light.

Two person play about evil & redemption. Started out a little slow, but with all the twists & turns, it quickly got our attention & kept it throughout. Another fine performance from Stages!

Amy Lauren Gettys and Joseph Tostado truly made this show worth seeing. It is one of the few performances that I have seen recently where the characters were real people and not actors trying to be their characters. It felt like they were experiencing each moment for the first time along with the audience. Unfortunately, the direction and technical elements left something to be desired.
Otherwise, this is definitely an interesting show to figure out the puzzle which is Purgatorio.
