Synopsis

This powerful play by Federico García Lorca, "La Casa de Bernarda Alba," explores the suffocating grip of tradition and repression within a household of women. Following the death of their tyrannical matriarch, Bernarda Alba, her five daughters are confined to their home, their lives dictated by strict social codes and their mother's iron will. As desires and resentments simmer beneath the surface, the daughters grapple with their longing for freedom and the tragic consequences of their confinement.
