The House of Bernarda Alba

The House of Bernarda Alba

The House of Bernarda Alba is a provocative drama set in a small, Spanish village, which follows the legacy of Bernarda Alba, the matriarch, and her five daughters. Living under Bernarda’s control as they mourn their father’s passing, these sisters seek a world beyond their mother’s walls. Enticing audiences for 80 years, The House of Bernarda Alba is a gripping and timeless exploration of control, desire, and the power of the human spirit. Features students from JMU’s School of Theatre and Dance. Contains adult content, adult language, violence, and references to suicide. Parental discretion advised.
