Question

For Marina Carr’s 2019 production of this play, Thalissa Teixeira (“tuh-LEE-suh tay-SHAIR-uh”) performed a cappella songs that crescendo into screams. Characters in this play gossip about the purchase of stockings decorated with a swallow, a boat, and a rose. A character in this play with honor “brighter than a white sheet in the sun” asks for a knife to eat grapes, to which his mother responds, “Knives, knives… curse them all, (10[1])and the wretch who invented them.” A character in this play reveals that another character’s orange blossoms were made of wax. After two characters flee this play’s title event, they are pursued into a forest where Death appears (10[1])as a beggar woman (10[1])and the (10[1])moon appears as a woodcutter. For 10 points, name this play by Federico García Lorca in which the Bride abandons the (10[1])Groom for Leonardo. ■END■
