Work:: Stung (S1738274461)

Incorporating abridged translations of Federico Garcia Lorca's Love of Don Perlimplin and Belisa in the Garden. A cyber-adventure throws four friends bang into the middle of Lorca's farces, where old men lust after young women and the line between fantasy and reality is slightly blurred. When Tom buys a cafe in Madrid, it becomes the meeting point for him and his friends. And when Sara conversing with her cyber-boyfriend online, the friends' become addicted to a newly created, parallel cyber-life. Instead of discussing their romantic concerns, society's hypocrisies and their own relationships, they LIVE an alternative reality in a website which is a hybrid of secondlife.com and Lorca's most outrageous works. The story of how the friends went through a period of confusing fantasy and reality is told by Sara, a PhD student who has trouble losing control over love and is lured into a parallel world by a stranger over the internet.
