The House of Bernarda Alba (Cuellar-Garcia)
Nelly E. Cuellar-Garcia
Bernarda Alba
by Michael John Lachiusa
Synopsis
Bernarda Alba tells the tales of a powerful matriarch, who imposes a strict rule on her household following her second husband's funeral: "Not a breath of outside air is going to enter this house.
It's going to feel like we've bricked up the doors and windows," she proclaims.
Bernarda's five daughters, however, struggle with her cold wishes.
The girls' dreams and desires challenge their mother's harsh rules and the outside world begins to slowly permeate their isolated existence.
A perfect show for a strong female cast, Bernarda Alba is a masterwork by Michael John LaChiusa, who has brought us such critically acclaimed hits as The Wild Party and Marie Christine.
