About Federico García Lorca
Federico García Lorca was one of Spain's most celebrated poets and playwrights. He single handedly brought forth the revival of Spanish theatre in the 1930's through new techniques and an evocative and surreal language. Among other works, Lorca is famous for Blood Wedding (1933), Yerma (1934), and The House of Bernada Alba (1934).
