lorca

A theatre musical based on the life and death of Federico García Lorca, Spain's most famous poet.

 
Five in the afternoon
Hot, black summer night
Naked in the moonlight ...
   
In Granada
In Granada - shadows creep through
Streets that haunt you...
   
Un chien andalou
Didn't you use to be a taller man
And dress in a suit of white...
   

The script for the Lorca musical was written by John Howlett. I wrote the lyrics for the songs and the music was composed by Theo Jaskolkowski. Two other key members of the creative team were director Ron Daniels, and Txetxu Egurrola who adapted the script and lyrics for the Spanish version.
