...unexciting stage drama. But the second act was filled with all the blood and aggression characteristic of a crime of passion—and by the end, nobody was complaining. “Bodas de Sangre” (“Blood Wedding”), written by the Spanish genius Federico Garcia Lorca in 1932, premiered as the first all-Spanish play to have ever been performed in a Harvard theatre. Directed by Christopher N. Hanley ’07-’08 and produced by Julie Ann Crommett ’08, “Bodas de Sangre?...
