I have written a new version of Federico Garcia Lorca’s Blood Wedding<\/em> for Anglia Ruskin University, which will be performed by the University’s 2nd year Drama students at the Mumford Theatre, Cambridge, in January 2017. (cast pictured below)<\/p>\n

This is my first adaptation of another playwright’s work, and it’s been a daunting challenge, as Lorca was such a great writer with a distinctive style so very different to mine. My version still takes place in Spain, but is set a few years later, in the 1940s, with General Franco very much in charge of a country haunted by the dead of the Civil War.<\/p>\n

Blood Wedding<\/em> is directed by Andrew Pritchard (who directed my play Protect and Survive<\/em> at VAULT Festival 2016) and is being performed as a double bill with another play, Upwardly Down<\/em>. Performances are at 7.30pm on Friday the 20th and Saturday the 21st of January 2017. Tickets are available to book online here.<\/a><\/p>\n
