A Cold Reading of The House of Bernarda Alba
By Federico García Lorca
Discussion facilitated by Inés del Castillo

Wednesday, August 3, 2022
7-10pm
On Zoom
RSVP Here

Completed just two months before he was assassinated in the Spanish Civil War, Federico García Lorca's The House of Bernarda Alba explores individual freedom, societal oppression, tradition, honor, and family. Following the death of her husband, matriarch Bernada Alba decrees to her five daughters that their home will be locked down in the traditional eight years of mourning. With the eldest daughter engaged, and all five daughters yearning to start their lives, Bernarda turns to harsher and harsher methods to maintain the family order. Secrets are forced out, tradition is threatened, and the family's honor is irreparably shaken. Please be advised that this play contains scenes that depict domestic violence, suicide, and mention of infanticide and violence against women.

This reading will take place on Zoom, followed by a discussin facilitated by Inés del Castillo. RSVP here for the link!
