Blood Wedding - Mar 13,

admin — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 22:38:12 +0000

Location: Margetts Theatre

Federico Garcia Lorcas Blood Wedding will be presented in the Margetts Theatre.

On the evening of her wedding day, a young bride deserts her newlywed husband and runs away with her former love. Exploring themes of family, honor and death, this tragic masterpiece is considered the greatest Spanish play of the 20th century. Lorca weaves together poetry, folk music and striking visual images to tell the heart-wrenching story of the three ill-fated lovers.

Tickets are available through the Fine Arts Ticket Office, (801) 422-4322, or at arts.byu.edu. Discounted showings of dress rehearsals are also available March 3-4. A Saturday matinee will also be shown March 13 at 2 p.m. There will be no performances Sundays or Mondays.
