and it is actually my current project.
i'm playing the bride.. (sdlkfjadsl!!)
its sort of all consuming.beautiful.challenging.wonderful.scary.poetic.tearful.
and has made me mildly obsessed with several things:
namely:
*Lorca Poetry
*Andalusia, Spain:
*Flamenco Dance(this is actually Carlos Saura's Flamenco version of the play)
*And Black Wedding Gowns
(in rural Spain, brides wear black.
a symbol of fidelity until death)
the play opens March 3rd. I'm sure you will hear more from me about it.

Ahhh Spain! Que linda!!
ahem,
I believe that photo is in La Mancha, which is north of Andalusia. I may be wrong though.

I'll have to see if I can make it to this one. I hope I can.
Damian!!
That Nieto painting is incredible! A friend in Vegas painted a large copy of it and has it hanging in her house! I didn't think of it (or remember it) until now.
thankyou. thank you.
sorry I didn't see that.
the painting is actually by John Singer Sargent. He is most famous for portraits and such (his most famous painting is probably "Madame X") BYU bought one of his paintings a few years back and it is on display in their gallery. right in the main room.
