The show runs again in Wood-Mar Auditorium Thursday, Oct. 31, through Sunday, Nov. 3, with all shows scheduled for 7:30 p.m. with the exception of the 2 p.m. Sunday matinee. Don’t miss out on this beautiful show!
Synopsis: Immediately following her husband’s death, Bernarda Alba orders her five daughters to observe an eight-year mourning period in which none of them will leave the house. The young women do their best to obey their mother, but when the handsome Pepe el Romano arrives on the scene the young womens’ desire to honor their mother’s tradition is set against their yearning for freedom.
Originally written as a critique of the rise of fascism in 1936, The House of Bernarda Alba addresses themes of sexual repression, fear of change, and serves as a powerful metaphor for those who yearn for freedom from confining ideals.
The play is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York.
