Critics rave...

“stunning production… pure pleasure” (DC Metro Theater Arts)

“the production is a resounding success” (MetroDiversity)

definitely worth a trip to upper 14th Street to savor this polished, poetic work.” (MD Theatre Guide)


When does a woman become a spinster? Doña Rosita la soltera o el lenguaje de las flores explores love, societal expectations, and betrayal at the turn of the 20th century, spanning a decade of Rosita’s life on the precipe of the first World War and her changing roles in a quickly-modernizing society. This exploration of womanhood by the great Lorca is an examination of what he called “the grotesque treatment of women” in Spain.


¿Cuándo una una mujer se vuelve "solterona"? Esta pieza clásica explora el amor, las expectativas sociales y la traición al inicio del siglo XX al seguir una década en la vida de Rosita, al borde de la I Guerra Mundial en una sociedad en la que su papel cambió notablemente debido a los vertiginosos cambios de la ápoca. Lorca realiza una profunda exploración de lo que significa ser mujer, convirtiéndose en un análisis de lo que llamamos "el grotesco tratamiento dado a la mujer" en España.
