Synopsis

Lorca Plays 1 - Blood Wedding & Dona Rosita the Spinster & Yerma

Lorca Plays 1 - Blood Wedding & Dona Rosita the Spinster & Yerma $28.99

Federico Garcia Lorca trans Gwynne Edwards & Peter Luke

Published by Methuen

These three tragedies were written at the height if Lorca's powers and display his innovative mix of Spanish popular tradition and modern dramatic technique

Blood Wedding tells the story of a couple drawn irresistibly together in the face of an arranged marriage

Doña Rosita the Spinster follows the appalling fate of a young woman beguiled into the expectation of marriage and left stranded for a lifetime

Yerma is possibly Lorca's harshest play following a woman's Herculean struggle against the curse of infertility

Set in and around his home territory, Granada, the plays return again and again to the lives of passionate individuals, particularly women, trapped by the social conventions of narrow peasant communities

The plays appear here in new playable translations

"Lorca is one of the few indisputably great dramatists of the twentieth century" ~ Observer
