The Independent reviews Blood Wedding by Spanish playwright Federico García Lorca, translated into English by Ted Hughes, and on stage at the
Citizens' Theatre, Glasgow.
But despite this strong beginning, some of the cast struggle to gel with the often tricky poetry of Ted Hughes's translation. When it works, there are striking moments: the opening scene between mother and her groom-to-be son; the appearance of the bride trussed up in a Victorian black dress; Iain Robertson's Heathcliff-ish Leonardo, abductor of the bride.If you're now curious about this and would like to see for yourself,
