La Casa De Bernarda Alba

About

Written by Spanish author Federico Garcia Lorca, La Casa De Bernarda Alba is a stage drama that follows the lives of five sisters and their overbearing mother, Bernarda Alba, who has set an eight-year mourning period on her household following her husband's death. Tensions mount within the house as Bernarda' already strict regulations on her daughters get more extreme, isolating the family from any relations with the outside world. With an all-female cast, La Casa De Bernarda Alba employs themes of repression and passion while offering a study on the effects that men have on women.
