The House Of Bernarda Alba: La casa de Bernarda Alba de Federico García Lorca

The House Of Bernarda Alba: La casa de Bernarda Alba: Student Editions

Autor Federico García Lorca Editat de Prof Gwynne Edwards
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 sep 2007
Bernarda Alba is a widow, and her five daughters are incarcerated in mourning along with her. One by one they make a bid for freedom, with tragic consequences. Lorca's tale depicts the repression of women within Catholic Spain in the years before the war.
The House of Bernarda Alba is Lorca's last and possibly finest play, completed shortly before he was murdered by Nationalist sympathisers at the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. Inspired by real characters and described by the author as 'a true record of village life', it is a tragic tale of frustration and explosive passions in a household of women rulled by a tyrannical mother.
Edited with invaluable student notes - a must for students of Spanish drama

Notă biografică

Federico García Lorca was born in 1898, in Andalusia, Spain. A poet and dramatist, and also a gifted painter and pianist, his early popular ballads earned him the title of 'poet of the gypsies'. In 1930 he turned his attention to theatre, visiting remote villages and playing classic and new works for peasant audiences. In 1936, shortly after the outbreak of Civil War, he was murdered by Nationalist partisans. His body was never found.

Recenzii

'Best of all is Ann Mitchell's superb Bernarda Alba, who presides over her daughters like a malevolent mother superior. As polished and shiney as her own furniture, a husk of a woman who puts pride and honour before love and generosity, and who is so out of touch with her own heart that she ignores all the signs of the coming disaster, content to rule her house with her eyes wide shut.'
It is a play about what happens to hearts when they are walled up and denied the opportunity to sweel with love and happiness'
In Bernada Alba's household, sexual control, pious display and honour make a pressure cooker of repression.
Lorca's last play - castigating crushing social convention and woman conspiring in their own oppression.
It is a famously grim tale..the tension mounts and never flags.
Lorca's theme, as the critic Eric Bentley once wrote is, 'the attempt to preserve honour in the face of the sexual instinct'.
Aching physical desire and the death-wish of a woman who says of her lover, 'When I look in to his eyes, it's like I'm slowly drinking his blood'. It is a riveting evening.
