La casa de Bernarda Alba es la obra teatral más conocida de Federico Garcíaa Lorca. Escrita en 1936, no pudo ser estrenada ni publicada hasta 1945, en Buenos Aires y gracias a la iniciativa de Margarita Xirgu. La obra expone la historia de Bernarda Alba, quien tras haber enviudado por segunda vez a los 60 años, decide vivir los siguientes ocho años en el más riguroso luto.

Con Bernarda viven sus cinco hijas (Angustias, Magdalena, Amelia, Martirio y Adela), su madre y sus dos criadas. La obra, de gran belleza lírica y fuerza dramática, describe la España profunda de principios del siglo XX, caracterizada por una sociedad tradicional en la que el papel que la mujer jugaba era muy secundario. Lorca destaca por su capacidad de aunar la tradición y la vanguardia, presentando temas, personajes y géneros de la tradición teatral desde inusitadas perspectivas y filtrándolos por el tamiz de unas modernas técnicas expresivas.

They call them wayward girls. Loose girls. Girls who grew up too fast. They’re sent to the Wellwood Home in St. Augustine, Florida, where unwed mothers are hidden by their families to have their babies in secret, give them up for adoption, and most importantly, to forget any of it ever happened.

Fifteen-year-old Fern arrives at the home in the sweltering summer of 1970, pregnant, terrified, and alone. Under the watchful eye of the stern Miss Wellwood, she meets a dozen other girls in the same predicament. There’s Rose, a hippie determined to find a way to keep her baby and escape to a commune. Zinnia, a budding musician, knows she’s going to go home and marry her baby’s father. And Holly, a wisp of a girl, barely fourteen, mute and pregnant by no-one-knows-who.

Everything the girls eat, every moment of their waking day, and everything they’re allowed to talk about is strictly controlled by adults who claim they know what’s best for them. Then Fern meets a librarian who gives her an occult book about witchcraft, and power is in the hands of the girls for the first time in their lives. But power can destroy as easily as it creates, and it’s never given freely. There’s always a price to be paid…and it’s usually paid in blood.
