Blood Wedding, possibly the best known of Lorca's plays was written is 1932. 1t was first performed in Madrid in 1933 and was directed by Lorca himself. The play was indeed inspired by a real incident reported in a Granada newspaper years before the composition of the play. In Blood Wedding, there is a palpable intention of taking the play's atmosphere away from any nature of a newspaper story. From the field, if he transports real human characters to an unreal world one in which the appearances of the mysterious and fantastic players (as in the personification of the Moon and Death) are possible. Then he makes the 6lesh and blood characters rise to a plane less real. He converts them into forces whose incentives are outside themselves. They have moved away from the newspaper account from which they came but have been converted into anonymous beings, who possess a country's generic character, Who are opposed by tragic personage (their fate) and who are led by this fate among songs and premonitions toward death.
