La Casa de Bernarda Alba is the third in a trilogy of rural tragedies by Federico García Lorca, widely regarded as Spain’s most distinguished twentieth-century writer. Written in 1936, just before the Spanish Civil War, it was also Lorca’s final play. He was assassinated in the same year when the war began, and never lived to see it staged; it was not produced until 1945 in Argentina, and not until 1964 in Spain. Federico García Lorca’s final masterwork set in a rural Andalusian household where the title character wields total control over her five daughters, all of whom secretly harbor a passion for the handsomest man in the village.
