Carmen the Gypsy archiveCarmen is in the midst of a scuffle at an illegal Gypsy cage-fighting event when she is arrested by undercover police officer, Don Jose. Carmen seduces him, persuading him to let her go. Don Jose's infatuation with Carmen leads him to join the Gypsy cage-fighting gang where he discovers she is married to the brutal Garcia, head of the gang. Rivalry grows and Carmen soon resents Don Jose's possessiveness and turns instead to a handsome cage-fighting champion. Don Jose's world crumbles and in a jealous rage he begs her to forsake other men. But Carmen has other plans... Based on the story of "Carmen" by Prosper Merimee, this contemporary story set on a British Travellers' site explores the enigmatic character of Carmen the woman, and through her extraordinary journey we discover the human being behind the icon. The play features original Gypsy music and songs.
