The Public & Play Without a Title: Two Posthumous Plays by Federico Garcia Lorca

Description: The Public & Play Without a Title by Federico Garcia Lorca, Carlos Bauer Lorca, Public & Play w/o Title. "Greatest thing I have written for theater" - Lorca. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Federico Garcia Lorca calledThe Public"the best thing Ive written for the theater." Yet, he acknowledged, "this is for the theater years from now." Now, half a century later,The Publicand another of Lorcas most daring works,Play without a Title, are available in English translation for the first time. Surrealism, folk theater, poetry, vivid costumes, black humor––in theThe Public, dramatic traditions are ransacked to develop themes as timely in the 1980s as they were taboo when Lorca was writing: if Romeo were a man of thirty and Juliet a boy of fifteen, would their passion be any less authentic? No, says a young observer of the play within the play, "I who climb the mountain twice each day and, when I finish studying, tend an enormous herd of bulls that Ive got to struggle with and overpower at every instant, I dont have time to think about whether Juliets a man or a woman or a child, but only to observe that I like her with such a joyous desire." In bothThe PublicandPlay without a Title, the player himself is of as much consequence as the role he plays. The fierce, starkPlay without a Title, with its cast of Author, Prompter, Stagehand in the wings, and hecklers in the gallery, clearly heralds developments in todays avant-garde theater. It also reflects the violence of the times in which it was written. As Carlos Bauer notes in his introduction, neither of the plays in this volume was complete in 1936, when Lorca was assassinated by Francos forces. Still, both have here the unity and grace of finished tours de force. Author Biography Federico García Lorca (1898-1937) was born in Granada, Spain. A poet and playwright (Blood Wedding, The House of Bernarda Alba), he was killed by the Falangists in Spain during the Spanish Civil War.
