Four Key Plays - The Audience, Blood Wedding, Yerma, The House of Bernarda Alba - Federico Garca Lorca - Hardback Bog - Hackett Publishing Co, Inc -

Description

In addition to a substantial introduction to the life and works of Federico García Lorca—avant-garde poet, playwright, and soul of Spain''s "Generation of ''27"—this collection features vibrant new English translations of four of his plays. The legacy of a dramatic, religious, and social iconoclast whose death made him a martyr of the left in Civil-War Spain and who today is embraced as a gay icon shines through in Michael Kidd''s stage-worthy renderings of Yerma , Blood Wedding , The House of Bernarda Alba , and a more experimental play, The Audience , a kaleidoscopic exploration of sexual identity and theater.
