Blood Wedding

May 2009
GUU Reading Room
Directed by Patricia Verity

Fresh from its success at this year’s St Andrews on the Rocks Festival, Blood Wedding by Federico Garcia Lora will conclude with the second and final date of its world tour. A Spanish tragedy that deals with the pressures and rituals of society. Heredity – indicates the outcome, Circumstances – provides the means, Passion – provides the impulse. Knives. A family tree about to be cut down. A wedding. A passionate elopement. A family feud that comes to its inevitable end.
