Marfa
Ballroom Marfa presents La Casa de Bernarda Alba, directed by Richard Maxwell of New York City Players, at the Bullroom on April 10–11 at 7:30 p.m. at the Bullroom on Golf Course Road.
Lorca’s last play tells the story of Bernarda, an unbending mother obsessed with appearances, who, after the death of her second husband, imposes eight years of mourning on her five daughters and confines them within their home in a small Spanish village. Though set in a time and place where men boldly reign, they are never seen on stage; the play explores love, familial ties and control as an all-female cast transforms the home into a pressure chamber of power, longing and surveillance.
The show is to be performed in Spanish with English supertitles. This program is free to attend. Tickets are required and available at ballroommarfa.org.
