Theatre: Dona Rosita the Spinster (Lorca)

Lorca wrote this one as a quiet heartbreak: a woman who waits years for a fiancé who sails off to Argentina and keeps promising to return. Marc Rosich's trimmed-down version runs a tidy 65 minutes, so it never outstays its welcome, and Rafa Cruz sets it among the people who watch Rosita's hopes fade while their own lives carry on. Gretel Stuyck and Candela Mora carry the cast.

Staging it outdoors in the MucBe gardens is a clever touch, since so much of the play turns on flowers and a garden that blooms and withers around her. Worth knowing it's in Castilian Spanish, so you'll get more from it if you've a bit of the language or already know the story. Tickets are 10 euros through the town's box office.
