In his four last plays Federico García Lorca offered his disturbed and disturbing personal vision to Spanish audiences of the 1930s - unready, as he thought them, for the sexual frankness and surreal expression of his more experimental work. The authentic sense of danger of Lorca's theatre is finely conveyed here in John Edmunds's fluent and rhythmic new translations that lend themselves admirably to performance. Contains: Blood Wedding; Yerma; The House of Bernarda Alba; Dona Rosita the Spinster.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Federico Garcia Lorca was a Spanish poet, playwright, and theatre director known for his distinctive lyrical style and exploration of themes such as love, death, and passion. Some of his most notable works include "Blood Wedding," "Yerma," and "The House of Bernarda Alba," which are considered masterpieces of Spanish literature. Lorca's use of surreal imagery, musical language, and intense emotions set him apart as one of the most important figures of the Spanish literary movement known as the Generation of '27. His work continues to inspire and influence writers and artists around the world. Lorca's most famous work is perhaps "Romancero Gitano" (Gypsy Ballads), a collection of poems that showcases his talent for blending traditional Spanish forms with modernist sensibilities. Lorca's tragic death during the Spanish Civil War in 1936 further solidified his status as a literary icon.
