Markley's set promised a jolt of dislocation as soon as the curtain rose. Replete with uneven surfaces resembling agricultural terraces, the stage was covered with a glowing earth-colored fabric that ambiguously suggested sand or fields. Even when the villagers prepared for a feast or gossiped with neighbors, their interactions never undermined the mythic aura. The only visible vegetation took the form of artificial trees mysteriously suspended on pipe stands.

Stages' Blood Wedding is visually arresting. Set designer Kirk Markley's configuration of Andalusian buildings has the right sun-baked look, enhanced by his lighting.
