These three tragedies were written at the height if Lorca's powers
and display his innovative mix of Spanish popular tradition and
modern dramatic technique. Blood Wedding tells the story of a
couple drawn irresistibly together in the face of an arranged
marriage; Dona Rosita the Spinster follows the appalling fate of a
young woman beguiled into the expectation of marriage and left
stranded for a lifetime whilst Yerma is possibly Lorca's harshest
play following a woman's Herculean struggle against the curse of
infertility. Set in and around his home territory, Granada, the
plays return again and again to the lives of passionate
individuals, particularly women, trapped by the social conventions
of narrow peasant communities. The plays appear here in new
playable translations.
