Items related to Four Key Plays: The Audience, Blood Wedding, Yerma,...
In addition to a substantial introduction to the life and works of Federico García Lorca—avant-garde poet, playwright, and soul of Spain's "Generation of '27"—this collection features vibrant new English translations of four of his plays. The legacy of a dramatic, religious, and social iconoclast whose death made him a martyr of the left in Civil-War Spain and who today is embraced as a gay icon shines through in Michael Kidd's stage-worthy renderings of Yerma, Blood Wedding, The House of Bernarda Alba, and a more experimental play, The Audience, a kaleidoscopic exploration of sexual identity and theater.

About the Author:
Michael Kidd is Professor of Languages and Cross-Cultural Studies, Augsburg University.
Review:
"Kidd’s translations are excellent, both accurate and readable, and the biographical and critical guides are useful."
—Jonathan Mayhew, University of Kansas
"Kidd has produced a truly brilliant translation of, and Introduction to, Lorca. . . . His Introduction is of immense value to anyone interested in Lorca. . . . Kidd lays out the Lorca territory in such clarity that one can see exactly how Lorca developed and how he 'fit' into the frightening historical circumstances of his times. Moreover, Kidd shows how Lorca developed as a playwright (and poet) in response to his personal growth in relation to his family and friends. Kidd’s writing is itself noteworthy for its simplicity, directness, and the ease with which he tells Lorca's story. It’s not easy to make such a complex story seem to unwind effortlessly for the reader, and for that Kidd earns a special congratulations."
