The House of Bernarda Alba: a modern adaptation by Federico Garcia Lorca
A viscerally modern adaptation of Lorca's seminal drama, transposing the formidable matriarch Bernarda and her imprisoned family to the gangland 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.
'It is the most Spanish of plays, a powerful example of that almost untranslatable element in Spanish art, duende: an almost magical sense of the soul, at once anguished, yearning and exhilarated..one feels it in Lorca's play' Mark Brown, Sunday Herald, 27.9.09 'Rona Munro's bold translation for the National Theatre of Scotland is not the gimmick it may sound. This is a portrait of an all-female household cocooned from teh outside world by a domineering mother and fear of the paparazzi.' Mark Fisher, Guardian, 21.9.09
Rona Munro is one of Scotland's leading writers. Her latest play The Last Witch premiered at the Edinburgh International Festival 2009 and her other plays include The Indian Boy (RSC), Watership Down (Lyric Hammersmith), Iron (Traverse Theatre, Royal Court and Manhattan Theatre Club).
