The House Of Bernarda Alba:
Cambridge University Amateur Dramatic Club (CUADC)

When Bernarda Alba's husband dies, she locks all the doors and windows. She tells her grown-up daughters to sew and be silent. But not even the tyranny of Bernarda's repressive rule can cool the passion and desire that smoulder darkly within the household. With the arrival of Pepé el Romano, an attractive young man from the village comes a tantalizing breeze of cool air which plays amongst the reeds, away from the house. This production re-imagines Lorca's masterpiece, to the mid '70s with the demise of Spanish Fascism and Spain's liberation. Redolent with Lorca's sensual poetry, blending, dance, music and stirring visuals this production breathe's new life into this haunting narrative of oppression, rebellion and fragile beauty.
