The character of Death in Federico García Lorca's _Blood Wedding_ (_Bodas de Sangre_) is **not** supposed to be credited in the program. I note that she (Death being a beggar-woman in the play) is not in the list of characters in the [script](https://books.google.com/books/about/Blood_Wedding.html?id=WBaYyBQkAk4C&printsec=frontcover&source=kp_read_button#v=onepage&q&f=false) (see page 4) and this is a specific instruction by the author (page 50).

I can’t tell if the intention is to name that actress for one of the other small roles. I suppose that for a professional production some special arrangement must be made with Actors’ Equity or an equivalent union to have an actor appear without credit.
