The House of Bernarda Alba (Spanish: La casa de Bernarda Alba) is a play by the Spanish dramatist Federico Garcia Lorca. It has often been grouped together with Blood Wedding and Yerma to form a "rural trilogy", although this play did not form part of Lorca's plan for a "trilogy of the Spanish earth" (which remained unfinished at the time of his death).[1] Lorca described the play in its subtitle as a drama of women in the villages of Spain. The House of Bernarda Alba was Lorca's last play, completed on 19 June, 1936, several months before Lorca's execution. The play was first performed in 1945.
