«La Casa de Bernarda Alba» is the play by Federico García Lorca, published by Edigrama in paperback (121 pages, in Spanish).
Bernarda Alba, an authoritarian widow, imposes strict mourning on her five daughters and closes the house. In that oppressive atmosphere, repressed desires, envy and family secrets strain relationships until a tragic outcome. The play reflects repression and social tensions in rural Spain in the early twentieth century.
Written in 1936 and premiered posthumously in 1945, this work closes the trilogy of tragedies by Federico García Lorca begun with Bodas de sangre and continued with Yerma.
Frequent reading in schools and a gateway to twentieth-century Spanish theatre.
Federico del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús García Lorca was a Spanish poet, playwright, and theatre director. García Lorca achieved international recognition as an emblematic member of the Generation of '27, a group consisting mostly of poets who introduced the tenets of European movements into Spanish literature.
