A blade sharpened. A bride wedded. A blood-feud unleashed.
Show more
Surges of hate and love blast through a rural village where blood runs hot and knives are gripped in tense fists. Under the burning Andalusian sun, a bride marries a man she doesn’t love. On the night of her wedding she must make a decision: choose tradition and live respectably, or choose love and risk it all.
Written by Federico GarcÃa Lorca
A new translation by Emma Nihill Alcorta Written in the summer of 1932, Lorca’s acclaimed rural tragedy is a story of arid land and tough people, where societal expectations are rigidly defined and hidden yearnings simmer under the surface of convention. From the pen of an internationally revered Spanish playwright, Blood Wedding is a masterpiece of exquisite poetry and raw human longing. Featuring an electric new translation and a live, original score with Flamenco roots, Full Moon Theatre’s Blood Wedding punches through to the gut of our present moment, asking what happens when individual yearning batters against the walls of tradition.
