The House of Bernarda Alba
The House of Bernarda Alba is a three-act play written in 1936 by Federico García Lorca.[1] It could not be premiered or published until 1945, in Buenos Aires, thanks to the initiative of Margarita Xirgu. It portrays the story of Bernarda Alba, who after being widowed for the second time at the age of 60 decides to live the next eight years in the strictest mourning, imposing the same on her daughters. Lorca describes the deep Spain of the early 20th century,xx,[2] characterized by a very violent traditional society where the role of women is secondary. Other prominent features include religious fanaticism and the fear of exposing intimacy. Living with Bernarda are her five daughters (Angustias, Magdalena, Amelia, Martirio, and Adela), her mother, and her two maids. Among these last is Poncia, a maid who has served the elderly woman for thirty years.[3]​[4]​
