When a young bride-to-be receives a visit from a former paramour on her wedding day, a family blood feud threatens the celebration and sparks a deadly dance of love and deception, family and revenge, beauty, and betrayal. This contemporary translation of Federico Garcia Lorca’s pulsing, lyrical Blood Wedding is a seductive tale of passion and vendetta set in the Spanish countryside, capturing the inevitable power of individual desire over the stifling demands of familial obligation.
