By turns cruel, beautiful, erotic, romantic, violent, Federico García Lorca’s The Public is, in the author's own words, 'the best I have written for the theatre'. Half an impassioned argument for a new, less ideologically sterile form of theatre, and half a bitter indictment of a society that arbitrarily condemns and mutilates certain forms of love, the piece finds Spain's iconic playwright at his most raw, passionate, and controversial.
