Intro ideas
As a director I have chosen to keep my production of Blood
Wedding roughly within its original early 20th century rural Spain
as I believe the major themes of death, conformity and non-conformity and the
role women play in binding a family transcend both place and time. They are as
relevant and pertinent now as they were when Lorca first wrote them. I also believe
that much of the play exists in a timeless beauty that doesn't really need
locating too strongly. I also believe
that the strong characters that Lorca has written should be the real focus of
the play and therefore want to allow them to operate with the minimum of
distraction for a contemporary audience.

Homework - Due Tuesday 15th October
Write at least 300 words detailing your creative overview of your production of Blood Wedding.
You may like to write it as an introductory speech to your cast outlining what is unique about your production. Where will it be set? What type of stage will you use? Will you have a chorus? What are the major themes you'll be highlighting? How will you use music? What about costumes, set, props? How will you distinguish between the heightened naturalism of the first acts with the surrealism of the forest? What do you want your audience to get from your production?
You will be presenting these to the rest of the class on Tuesday - don't let your colleagues down!
