Lorca\'s Blood Wedding is a classic of twentieth-century theatre.
With marvellous directne.
Ted Hughes\'s version stays close in spirit and letter to the original Spanish.
Lorca uses it to investigate the subjects which fascinated him: desire, repression, ritual, and the constraints and commitments of the rural Spanish community in which the Play is rooted.
The story is based on a newspaper fragment which told of a family vendetta and a bride who ran away with the son of the enemy family.
