Up In Arms presents
Blood Wedding
retold by Barney Norris
Up In Arms and Wiltshire Creative present an explosive retelling of Lorca’s folk classic, Blood Wedding.
A Wiltshire village, 2019. Rob and his fiancee Georgie are checking out the village hall for their wedding reception. They think it’s ideal, but Rob’s mum isn’t so sure and wonders if they are rushing into things. Just when they begin to talk her round, a school friend of Georgie’s turns up, along with an old flame who could shatter the wedding plans. Very soon Georgie’s past is making her question who really is the love of her life.
Barney Norris’s explosive retelling of Lorca’s classic tragedy sets the action firmly in a modern day village community that’s rocked by revelations and gossip.
