About this product
Product Information
In Do a Rosita the Spinster , set in Granada around 1900, Lorca paints a sympathetic picture of a young girl as she waits in vain for her fianc to return and her hopes of marriage fade. The fate of Rosita, symbolised by the rosa mutabile, which pales from red to pink to white in the course of a day, appears the more poignant as Lorca casts a satirical eye at the middle-class society of Granada by which she is surrounded. First performed in 1935, Do a Rosita was greeted as one of Lorca's finest achievements and it remains a classic work of Spanish theatre alongside Lorca's Blood Wedding , The House of Bernarda Alba and Yerma . This Student Edition features parallel English and Spanish texts of the play, together with a full commentary, questions and a bibliography. 'Do a Rosita is the most accessible and personal of all his plays - a wistful tragic-comedy of unfulfilled love' Guardian

'Lyrical and atmospheric...;Around this sad, simple story, Lorca weaves a lament for mutability and waste', The real tragedy of Doña Rosita goes deeper than its plot. The play was written in 1935, on the eve of the Spanish Civil War, just a year before García Lorca was assassinated by the Falangists, becoming a political martyr. Written in a flowery language redolent of another time, the drama also satirizes turn-of-the-century Granada and Spain itself, with its rigid social constraints., The most accessible and personal of all his plays - a wistful tragic-comedy of unfulfilled love...fading beauty and passing time...realism mixes effortlessly with symbolism, "The most accessible and personal of all his plays - a wistful tragic-comedy of unfulfilled love...fading beauty and passing time...realism mixes effortlessly with symbolism" -- The Guardian "The real tragedy of Doña Rosita goes deeper than its plot.
