A deal is struck - a marriage of convenience between her eldest girl and the son of a business rival. All Bernarda has to do is ensure that the wedding happens, and quickly. Five headstrong daughters cooped up in the family home in an emotionally charged atmosphere of bitter rivalry and repressed sexuality make that an epic challenge. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOne of the most celebrated European dramas of the 20th century, the play was finished by Lorca shortly before he was executed in Spain for his left-wing politics. He described it as a \"drama of women in the villages of Spain\" - a theme that is electrifyingly transposed in this version to the tough communities of Glasgow's East End. Faithfully preserving Lorca's sense of boiling tension and impending tragedy, this adaptation brings a classic text thrillingly up to date. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis text was published to coincide with the world premiere of the adaptation, a production by the National Theatre of Scotland in 2009.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Federico Garcia Lorca\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Methuen Drama\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Modern Plays\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.2lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781408126967","brand":"Methuen Drama","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45175637049481,"sku":"9781408126967","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_1426c27a-fecf-486f-a68a-54dac53d0bd0.jpg?v=1768890752","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-house-of-bernarda-alba-a-modern-adaptation-9781408126967","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
