BROADWAY BOW TIES: WEARING LORCA'S BOWTIE AT THE DUKE THEATER + LAST CHANCE TO SEE DANIEL RADCLIFFE IN HOW TO SUCCEED

WEARING LORCA'S BOWTIE: 15 artists will take The Duke stage on 42nd Street Off-Broadway to play Spanish poet/playwright, Federico García Lorca in Wearing Lorca's Bowtie.  Co-directed by Josh Hecht (Drama Desk Award winner for Christine Jorgensen Reveals) and Ignacio García-Bustelo, the show will run December 8-17.  Buy tickets here.

ABOUT: A group of artists living in New York look at the city through the eyes of Federico García Lorca, Spain’s most celebrated poet.  Like Lorca in 1929, they too struggle with small bedrooms, social pressures and a devastating economic crisis, attempting to escape solitude through art.  Inspired by Lorca's "Poet in New York", AENY's inaugural production brings together Spanish and American artists to create a unique collage of poetry, personal stories, music and dance.  A tender exploration of the particular brand of loneliness that New York can evoke, and a dazzling celebration of art and community.

Wearing Lorca’s Bowtie unites some of Spain’s most celebrated award-winning writers, actors, musicians, dancers and directors with a Tony, OBIE and Drama Desk Award-winning team of American designers to create a unique theatrical experience.
  The cast includes Benita Benéitez, Adela Bolet, Freia Canals, María Cuartero, Beatriz de la Cruz, Sebastián Gálvez, Juan Carlos López, Puela Lunaris, Javier Moreno, Pep Munoz, Soraya Padrao, Amara C. Pérez, Nuria Rabanillo, Rodrigo Recabarren, Carlos Renedo, David Riley and Yago Vázquez. [via: New42]
