' A knife, a small knife, that barely fits the hand' ...
Years of family feuds come together in the Spanish tragedy Blood Wedding at Titchfield Festival Theatre next week.
Can the past be buried or must the anger live on in each generation? Can a mother let go of her only remaining son? Can a bride let go of her former love? This is a wedding not to be missed!
Lorca’s greatest play has tremendous depth in so few words. It is rich in poetry and imagery. It talks of flowers to comfort, veils for a wedding or to bury the dead. The mystical and dark figures of the Moon and the Beggar Woman, disguised as Death all add to the depth of the traditional beliefs of a country about to be torn apart by a war that would result in Lorca’s life being taken in a field outside the city of Grenada, in Andalucía.
This production takes place on the main stage.
It runs from Wednesday February 8 to Saturday February 18, 73 St Margaret's Lane Titchfield, Box Office 01329556156
