Apr. 8-10. U-M drama lecturer Kate Mendelof directs RC students in Federico Garcia Lorca’s landmark 1932 drama, a lyrical, expressionist tragedy inspired by a sensational 20s murder case in rural Spain. A young bride flees an arranged marriage on her wedding day, with fatal consequences. Pitting passion against social conventions, the poetic drama conjures up an archetypal Spain, steeped in Andalusian music, dance, and cultural lore.
