Following the death of Bernarda Alba’s second husband, she demands that her household mourn for eight years and postpones her eldest daughter’s upcoming wedding. Her five other daughters quickly become entranced with the handsome fiancé, Parviz Rumani. The decision to wed the eldest daughter is a strictly financial one, but it’s the youngest daughter who steals the young man’s heart. When the truth inevitably comes out, Bernarda Alba must try to maintain control—with tragic consequences.
This presentation was performed in partnership with The Valparaiso University Department of Theatre.
