UCSD Theatre & Dance stages Federico García Lorca's drama about three of five sisters in love with the same man. Jeffrey Wienckowski directed.
After the death of her second husband, Bernarda Alba, a domineering Spanish matriarch, imposes a period of mourning on the five adult daughters. Tension mounts within the household where morality is dictated by the fanatical tyranny of ideology. Menial daily rituals are the only thing that makes the daughters lives bearable while they are slowly eaten alive by their own repression. The House of Bernarda Alba, Lorca's last play, was completed mere months before he was assassinated by the Nationalists in 1936.
