Diversity Placed Centre Stage In New Version Of Blood Wedding At The Everyman Theatre.

Performed by a cast of Deaf and disabled actors and non-disabled actors, an exciting and dramatic retelling of Federico Garcia Lorca’s Blood Wedding will be staged at the Everyman, breathing new life into this classic play. Co-produced by Graeae Theatre Company, Derby Theatre and Dundee Rep Ensemble, Blood Wedding runs from Tuesday 21st April until Saturday 25th April.

Graeae’s Artistic Director Jenny Sealey, who previously directed the London 2012 Paralympic Opening Ceremony, directs David Ireland’s modern day retelling of Blood Wedding, which is fuelled by searing lust, love and rebellion. When young lovers are overrun with passion and defy their families, the consequences are fatally heartbreaking as a wedding party turns sour and two families are torn apart.
