It’s better to be dead drained of blood than alive with it rotting

U of A Studio Theatre mounts a classic of Spanish literature, Blood Wedding, opening tonight at the Timms Centre.

Blood Wedding tells the twisted tales of lovers and loved ones by descending into the very dark origins of drama: primal desire.

A woman’s raw, pulsing passion for one man cannot be contained on her wedding night to another. Death pursues the tragic star-crossed lovers through the thick of the forest in the stark moonlight.
