by Federico Garcia Lorca, translation by Jo CliffordDirected by Sabrina Poole
9–18 October
“If you are a woman, you are punished just by being born.”
Bernarda Alba’s husband is dead. Now she and her daughters must complete eight years of mourning. Confined physically and emotionally, they must spend their days in regimented fashion. But trapped within the walls, buried tensions and secret desires fight their way to the surface and even the strongest of locks cannot hold back the tragedy beating at the doors.
The last of Lorca’s classics, written only months before his murder, is a disturbingly relevant story of the shattering effects of emotional repression.
Contains references to sexual assault, infanticide and suicide.
This amateur production is presented by special arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
