BODAS DE SANGRE
BODAS DE SANGRE (BLOOD WEDDING)
by Federico Garcia Lorca adapted by Ross Brown
‘Bodas De Sangre’ is an adaptation of the Lorca classic of the same name. Translated into English as ‘Blood Wedding’, Lorca’s tragedy is set in rural Spain in the 1930s and focusses on a woman and the two men who love her.
It was written in 1932 and first performed at Teatro Beatriz in Madrid in March 1933.
Theatre critics often group Blood Wedding with Lorca's Yerma and The House of Bernarda Alba as the "rural trilogy".
