        <description><![CDATA[You should be safe saying that it takes place probably in Seville, in the 1930's, during the heat of the Spanish Civil War. I say Seville, because most of the action during that time took place from Seville to Extremadura and throughout the provinces that extended both "kingdoms" of Castille and Aragon.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[A peasant drama is one that deals mostly with characters and themes associated with an agrarian society.  While the time period is important, it is not central.  Peasant dramas could be written today, but would be more limited in the choice of settings because because so many agrarian communities have disappeared.  The significance of an agrarian community is that everyone works together.  As a community, they must live peacefully and...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Blood Wedding, like many modernist plays, challenged the tradition of theatrical performance.  Rather than just portraying action on stage, this play incorporated elements of song, poetry, music, rhythm, chant, etc. to convey the themes and the movement of the plot.  The story used many unrealistic techniques in the portrayal as well, which were innovative to an audience that had not yet experienced such things and caught on as a new and...]]></description>

You will find an interview with Rene Buch-- the director of one of Repertorio's plays--on page 19 of 31 the quote is, &quot;The lullaby is a structural device It's the first time the horse comes in. Lorca puts the horse in the poetry, and that horse is going to become the real horse at the end of the third scene, and the horse that is going to take them away when they escape....]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Within Act1Scene2 the reference to the horse is spoken in poem/lullaby form to the child,it seems strange that the child is being rocked to sleep with violent images being planted in her head,but when thinking about it, several rhymes we are used to; such as &quot;rockabye baby&quot; are infact also lullabys that are not particularly &quot;child friendly&quot;. When looking closely into the poem we can see that the mother refers to her child...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[One of the themes of the play could be said to be "Death in Life", that is how people can 'die' while they're still alive. At one point in the play, the Mother asks the Bride: “Do you know what it is to be married, child?” The Bride says she does, but the Mother emphasizes her point anyway: “A man, some children, and a wall two yards thick for everything else."

At this point, we can see that a Boda de Sangre (Wedding of Blood) could be...]]></description>
