This production of the National Drama Center and Lazona has received five Max 2016 awards and is one of the theatrical phenomena of recent years in Spain.
La piedra oscura (dark Stone) is a work written by Alberto Conejero directed by Pablo Messiez and interpreted by Daniel Grao and Nacho Sánchez. The action takes place in the room of a military hospital near Santander, where two men who do not know each other are obliged to share the remaining hours until dawn, when one of them is sentenced to death.
The work is inspired by the life of Rafael Rodríguez Rapún, a student of Mining Engineering, secretary of the Barraca and companion of Federico García Lorca in the last years of his life.
