Blood Wedding: A Play (Faber Drama)

Blood Wedding by Federico García Lorca is a powerful poetic text that captures all the violence and pathos of the play for an English-speaking audience.

With marvellous directness, Ted Hughes fuses Lorca's vision to his own, staying close in spirit and letter to the original Spanish.

This classic of twentieth-century theatre is based on a newspaper fragment that told of a family vendetta and a bride who ran away with the son of the enemy family, allowing Lorca to investigate themes such as desire, repression, ritual, and the constraints and commitments of the rural Spanish community in which the play is rooted.
