House of Bernarda Alba - 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. When the father of all but the eldest girl dies, a cynical marriage is advanced which will have tragic consequences for the whole family. Five daughters live together in a single household with a tyrannical mother.
The House of Bernarda Alba premiered at the National Theatre, London, in March 2005. Lorca's fascinatingly modern play, rendered here in an English version by David Hare, speaks as powerfully as a political metaphor of oppression as it does as domestic drama.
