Product Description

'Better never to lay eyes on a man, never to have seen one. Ever since I was a child, I've been frightened: the look of men, yoking up the oxen, picking up sacks of wheat, calling to each other, their thick voices, their thick boots. Every time I passed, fear of their hands, of their touch. God made me weak and ugly. It's his way of keeping them away.' So pronounces one of five unmarried daughters before her elder sister, being the richest if least attractive of the bunch, is hastily betrothed. The youngest, burning with desire, begins a passionate, clandestine affair with her sister's suitor. She's spied upon by a jealous sibling, with devastating consequences. The House of Bernarda Alba, in this new version, premieres at the National Theatre, London, in March 2005.

4.0 out of 5 stars A clever, compelling play, 27 Dec 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The House of Bernarda Alba: A Drama About Women in Villages of Spain (Paperback)

This is a wonderful play, which starts slowly but gathers momentum as it rolls towards a tragic finale. Bernarda Alba is the central character, a matriarch who seeks to repress her daughters in every way possible; however, she can't repress what they feel in their hearts. Each of her five daughters falls in love with the handsome Pepe el Romano, with terrible consequences. The atmosphere is electric, full of the oppressive heat of the summer when it is set, and with that is the gradually increasing tension and the warning signals of what is to come. I strongly recommend it to anyone; it is shrewd in its observations of the behaviour of women.
