Doña Rosita the Spinster
by Federico García Lorca, Nilo Cruz
Synopsis
THE STORY: A spirited young woman full of life, Doña Rosita spends over two decades waiting for her fiancé to return from abroad and marry her, finally losing all hope as the years pass her by.
Set in Granada, Spain, the play draws symbolic parallels between Doña Rosita and the magically transformative nature of a rose called rosa mutable .
In this lyrical drama, Lorca portrays what he called “the grotesque treatment of women in Spain.”
