Three Plays Blood Wedding/Yerma/the House of Bernarda Alba

In these three plays, Garc a Lorca's acknowledged masterpieces, he searched for a contemporary mode of tragedy and reminded his audience that dramatic poetry-or poetic drama-depends less on formal convention that on an elemental, radical outlook on human life. His images are beautiful and exact, but until now no translator had ever been able to make his characters speak unaffectedly on the American stage. Michael Dewell of the National Repertory Theatre and Carmen Zapata of the Bilingual Foundation of the Arts have created these versions expressly for the stage. The result, both performable and readable, has been thoroughly revised for this edition, which is introduced by Christopher Maurer, general editor of the Complete Poetical Works of Garc a Lorca.García Lorca, Federico is the author of 'Three Plays Blood Wedding/Yerma/the House of Bernarda Alba', published 1993 under ISBN 9780374523329 and ISBN 0374523320.
