Lorca's Blood Wedding is a classic of twentieth-century theatre. The story is based on a newspaper fragment that told of a family vendetta and a bride who ran away with the son of the enemy family. Federico Garcia Lorca uses it to investigate the subjects that fascinated him: desire, repression, ritual, and the constraints and commitments of the rural Spanish community in which the play is rooted.
Chrysostomos, the St. John's College theatre group, produces four student-directed plays each school year.
These performances are open to the general public, $5 admission at the door; free to the St. John’s College community.
