The Love of Don Perlimplín for Belisa in the Garden

Play by Federico Garcia Lorca, tranlated by Caridad Svich, directed by Xerxes Mehta with set and costume design by Elean Zlotescu, and lighting design by Terry Cobb.

If there's anything better than sex, it has to be sex and high drama, or maybe sex, high drama, and the kind of trippy surrealism that implies drug usage. Leave it to Federico Garc’a Lorca to combine all three onstage. García Lorca, a literal martyr for art, wrote The Love of Don Perlimpl’n for Belisa during his Surrealist period, when he was collaborating with the likes of Salvador Dalí and Luis Bu–uel; it tells the story of un caballero viejo (an old man) and su esposa guapa (his hot wife). Always a dicey situation, and this play doesn't even presume to tell it straight. Make it to tonight's preview and you get to see UMBC's best efforts on the cheap.—Jennifer Pitzer
