Lorca Plays: 3: The Public; Play without a Title; Mariana Pineda (World Classics)

"Lorca is one of the few indisputably great dramatists of the twentieth century" Observer. . Mariana Pineda achieved immediate critical success on its first performance in Barcelona in 1927. The Public is a powerful and uncompromising demand for sexual, and specifically homosexual, freedom - as predicted it was never performed in Lorca's time - it was first performed in this country by Theatre Royal Stratford East in the 80s. Play Without a Title, an unfinished Lorca rarity, realises his wish 'to do something different, including modern plays on the age we live in'.
