The Public
Work:: The Public (S4682)
Drama described by its author as "the best thing I've written for the theatre"
Production:: (T110324517)
This new translation performed by students at the University of Glamorgan brings out the flouting of sexual taboos, the almost blasphemous naked crucifixion and Lorca's powerful manifesto for radical theatre. A male Juliet and the kidnapped female are both massacred by the audience. The theatre is reduced to begging the old order to help it survive. An incisive parable of the world that Spanish Fascism was to build over Lorca's body.
