The costumes (designed by Joanna Marquina ’10), though mostly faithful to Garcia Lorca’s symbolism, were at times over-the-top, especially the Bride’s humongous black dress.The lighting, designed by Nicholas J. Shearer ’09, was amazing. Several times throughout the show, the stage and the audience were drenched in a thick red light, foreshadowing the bloodbath of the final scenes. The use of magnified...
