Blood Wedding

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’?
