Description - The House of Bernarda Alba by Federico Garcia Lorca
Finished just two months before the author's murder on 18 August 1936 by a gang of Franco's supporters, The House of Bernarda Alba is now accepted as Lorca's great masterpiece of love and loathing.Five daughters live together in a single household with a tyrannical mother. When the father of all but the eldest girl dies, a cynical marriage is advanced which will have tragic consequences for the whole family. Lorca's fascinatingly modern play, rendered here in a new English version, speaks as powerfully as a political metaphor of oppression as it does as domestic drama.The House of Bernarda Alba, in David Hare's new version, premi red at the National Theatre, London, in March 2005.
