Mariana Pineda (play)

Mariana Pineda is a play by the Spanish playwright and poet Federico García Lorca.

It is based on the life of Mariana de Pineda Muñoz, whose opposition to Ferdinand VII (and subsequent public execution in 1831 for treason) had become part of the folklore of Granada.

That production was directed by García Lorca, with scenic design and costumes by Salvador Dalí, and was performed by the company of Margarida Xirgu.

The Spanish airline, Iberia, has named one of its airplanes after the play and the person it was based on.
