Did you know that Don Perlimpl\u00edn was first performed in the UK in 1945 right after World War II being one of the first Lorca texts to be performed outside of Spain? It was seen as a success, running for roughly 4 years but it also scandalised the bourgeois audience and was authorised but heavily censored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joan Littlewood said in 1945 \u00abLorca\u2019s plays deal with the terrible barrier between the sexes which existed in his country and is perhaps not unknown here. \u2026 Surely the first impact of any work of art is disturbing and even destructive: we must risk this \u2018unpleasantness\u2019 if our culture is not to atrophy.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
