Go Back Lorca in a Green Dress

TLT and UWT bring Pulitzer Prize-winner, Nilo Cruz’s surrealist play to life

Lorca in a Green Dress pays homage to Federico García Lorca, writer of Gypsy Ballads, Mariana Pineda, and Play Without a Title.  Lorca was killed by fascist forces on August 19, 1936 in the opening days of the Spanish Civil War. Upon his death, the great Spanish poet arrives in the “Lorca Room” in purgatory where he learns he will be quarantined for the next 40 days. With dramatic and sensual flamenco flair, Lorca in a Green Dress is a spellbinding exploration of the life and death of Lorca. Five different actors portray aspects of the poet’s personality in a surrealistic landscape that questions what it means to die, to live, to create and to love.
