On November 2, Spanish director Marco Margoa will be presenting an adaption of playwright and poet's Frederico Garcia Lorca's famous play ‘Blood Wedding.' This adaption sets its events in an Egyptian context. This project was created in cooperation with October 6 University and under the Spanish Embassy, who decided to hold the play free of charge for the audience. Written in 1933 at the height of Lorca's creative powers, ‘Blood Wedding' is set in 1928 and in the dusty heat of the Andalusian province of Almeria about a young bride abandoning her husband-to-be on the morning of her wedding and eloping with her childhood sweetheart. In a small town, where reputation and honor is everything, the elopers find themselves dealing with terrible and unforeseen consequences. The play will also be performing on November 5 at the Rawabet theatre downtown.
