Description
Angustias, Magdalena, Amelia, Martirio, Adela. The five daughters of Bernarda Alba have been sentenced to eight years of seclusion, mourning the recent death of their father. But erotic intrigues and exquisite longings cannot be contained in a house of cloistered daughters. These youthful, unmarried women are not to be held back, and each cultivates her own avenue of escape from the literal to the imagined. The poetic drama of Federico García Lorca, one of the 20th century's greatest dramatists, permeates this tragic masterpiece of matriarchal despotism.
