Lookingglass Theatre Company to Present Federico García Lorca's BLOOD WEDDING

Lookingglass Theatre Company continues its 28th Season with Federico García Lorca's Blood Wedding, translated by Michael Dewell and Carmen Zapata, and directed by Ensemble Member Daniel Ostling. Blood Wedding runs March 2 - April 24, 2016 at Lookingglass Theatre Company, located inside Chicago's historic Water Tower Water Works, 821 N. Michigan Ave. at Pearson. The Press Opening is Saturday, March 12, 2016 at 7:30 p.m. Single tickets to Blood Wedding go on sale to the general public on January 13, 2016.

The cast of Blood Wedding features Ensemble Members Eva Barr and Christine Dunford, with Artistic Associates Kareem Bandealy (Moby Dick) and Troy West (Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo), and Atra Asdou (Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo), Chance Bone (Last Act of Lilka Kadison), Wendy Mateo (Big Lake Big City), Melisa Pereyra, Helen Sadler, Kevin Viol, and Bubba Weiler.

When a young bride-to-be receives a visit from a former paramour on her wedding day, a family blood feud threatens the celebration and sparks a deadly dance of love and deception, family and revenge, beauty and betrayal.

Lorca - one of Spain's most revered and controversial dramatists - dared to pen a seductive tale of passion and vendetta in a rural Spanish community, one that speaks to any heart longing for true connection. Lookingglass celebrates Lorca's revolutionary theatrical vision and this bold and timeless work in an immersive experience lush with music, movement, and poetic storytelling.
