Product Description
Book Description
A play written by the Spanish poet and dramatist who was murdered by Nationalist partisans in July 1936, shortly after the outbreak of Civil War. Commissioned and performed by the highly acclaimed Communicado Theatre Company, this translation won a Fringe First at the 1988 Edinburgh Festival. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Synopsis
Blood Wedding is set in a village community in Lorca's Andalusia, and tells the story of a couple drawn irresistibly together in the face of an arranged marriage. This tragic and poetic play is the work on which his international reputation was founded. Methuen Student Editions are expertly annotated texts of a wide range of plays from the modern and classic repertoires. As well as the complete text of the play itself, the volume contains a chronology of the playwright's life and work; an introduction giving the background to the play; a discussion of the various interpretations; notes on individual words and phrases in the text; and photographs from stage productions.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fiery translation of Lorca's 'Blood Wedding', 22 April 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Blood Wedding (Paperback)
'Blood Wedding' is undisputably one of the greatest plays of the last century. Unlike many post-modern pieces written during this period, Lorca uses beautiful, eloquent language which is a delight to read and flows of the tongue of anyone lucky enough to perform it. It is wonderful, then, to discover a translation which manages to retain Lorca's poetry. The play is about the unfortunate fate of a young woman who elopes with her lover on her wedding day, leaving her fiance at the altar. It is a delicate and yet passionate play, based on a true story. David Johnston's sensitive translation is fully in touch with the original text, and overcomes language barriers smoothly and efficiently. Furthermore, the text includes an extensive introduction and notes section. These will prove an incredibly useful guide to anyone studying the text in schools or universities or performing the play and will provide stimulating background reading for those who enjoy the play merely as a form of entertainment. This a scorching translation and a must for Lorca enthusiasts-or simply those who wish to be entertained.
