BLOOD WEDDING

BY BARNEY NORRIS, AFTER LORCA
PRESENTED BY TWO’S COMPANY AND KARL SYDOW
IN ASSOCIATION WITH TILLY FILMS
'Why should I pretend I’m feeling happy if I’m not?’

Barney Norris’s dark comedy brings Lorca’s passionate Spanish classic blazing into 2025 England.

Tension runs high in a village on the edge of Salisbury Plain as the happy anticipation of a wedding suddenly turns ominous.

Georgie, 22 and the bride-to-be, is torn between her fiancé Rob and Lee, her ex. The seeds of disaster are sown.

Inspired by Frederico Garcia Lorca’s play, Barney Norris brings us bang up-to-date with the dreams and fears of any young couple today.

Do we ever dare to do what is in our hearts, do ‘one pure thing’?

Tricia Thorns’s award-winning Two’s Company is best known for sparkling rediscoveries of forgotten classics – A Day by the Sea, Bodies, The Cutting of the Cloth at Southwark Playhouse, Don’t Destroy Me at the Arcola, London Wall at the Finborough.

Multi-award-winning Barney Norris’s other plays include Visitors and Eventide, (Arcola), Nightfall (Bridge Theatre) and Second Best (Riverside). He is also the author of novels, including Five Rivers Met On A Wooded Plain and Undercurrent.
