The House of Bernarda Alba

The House of Bernarda Alba

Bernarda Alba is orthodox, overbearing, and single minded. She has complete control over her five daughters until the wealth of her eldest daughter, Angustias, attracts a suitor. Her other daughters are jealous that Angustiasâ€”who is almost forty and is homely and sicklyâ€”is getting married and escaping the tyrannical reach of their mother. All of Bernardaâ€™s other daughters dream of escaping that house too, and some of them are willing to do anything to get away. Tensions rise as the sisters forsake their family ties and compete against each other for the one thing that can save them from their motherâ€™s rule: a man.
