In Doa Rosita the Spinster, set in Granada around 1900,Lorca paints a sympathetic picture of a young girl as she waits in vainfor her fianc to return and her hopes of marriage fade. The fate ofRosita, symbolised by the rosa mutabile, which pales from red to pinkto white in the course of a day, appears the more poignant as Lorcacasts a satirical eye at the middle-class society of Granada by whichshe is surrounded.
First performed in 1935, Doa Rositawas greeted as one of Lorca's finest achievements and it remains a classic work of Spanish theatre alongside Lorca's Blood Wedding, The House of Bernarda Alba and Yerma.This Student Edition features parallel English and Spanish texts of theplay, together with a full commentary, questions and a bibliography.
'Doa Rosita is the most accessible and personal of all his plays - a wistful tragic-comedy of unfulfilled love' Guardian
