Considered the first play to be written for a cast of women only, The House of Bernarda Alba is based on the mysterious black-clad women who lived next door to the Lorca family estate. With their father dead, the Alba household is imprisoned in mourning.
Angustias has inherited a fortune and is engaged to the local heartthrob, but as tensions rise and tempers flare, will any of them break free from the shackles of societal expectations?
Federico García Lorca is best known for his three brilliant tragedies (Blood Wedding, Yerma and The House of Bernarda Alba), wrought from the raw material of Roman Catholicism and lyrical Latin poetry, rural Spanish folklore and women's yearning, rage and insight.
A poet and a visual artist, Lorca chronicled a Spain in transformation. He is perhaps most famous outside Spain (where his work was banned for years) for dying absurdly young, executed by a fascist firing squad in 1936. His body has never been found.
