Olives and Blood

Neighborhood Productions will present Olives and Blood, a haunting new play by JEFF-nominated playwright Michael Bradford, with musical accompaniment by guitarist Nick Trautman.

It is said in Spain that the dead are always more alive than the day they were born. So it is for the presumed murderer of Federico Garcia Lorca, Juan Luis Trescante Medina. Sixty years after Lorca’s death, the aging fascist, Trescante, fights to hold onto the myth of a murder that defined his life. But in Spain, sixty years is little more than a breath, and a reckoning is all but inevitable.
