The house of Bernada Alba

The House of Bernarda Alba is a communist play set around the 1936 civil war. The play has often been grouped together with Blood Wedding and Yerma to form, what thespians describe to be, a "rural trilogy", that explores themes of tyranny causing repression, lust and passion, coming from mourning women's conformity and routine. Bernarda's cruel tyranny over her daughters foreshadows the stifling nature of Franco's fascist regime. The play is gripping, yet light despite the nature of its content. Was an interesting and entertaining outing!Go SUCO and See!!!
