| Other Info | by Federico Garcia Lorca Directed by Margaret-Mary Hollins Cast: Michelle Hine, Nisha Madham, Leisha Ward Knox, Rachael Nash, Tania Anderson, Yvette Parsons, Rashmi Pillipataya, Jodie Hillock. Following the gangland execution of her husband, the formidable matriarch Bernarda Alba will do anything to safeguard her family’s dubious fortune and the future of her five daughters. Five headstrong daughters cooped up in the family home in an emotionally charged atmosphere of bitter rivalry and repressed sexuality make that an epic challenge. This untimely intimate epic encompasses the vital elements of riveting storytelling. It moves with dramatic pace fuelled by characters and relationships where bottled emotions of jealousy, love, laughter and tragedy make for a richly climatic and powerful human drama. One of the most celebrated European dramas of the 20th century; the play was finished by Lorca shortly before he was executed in Spain for his left-wing politics. Faithfully preserving Lorca’s sense of boiling tension and impending tragedy, the play lines up a stunning cast of women who bring this classic text thrillingly up to date. OPENS: Friday 11 June 2010 CLOSES: Saturday 19 June 2010 TIMES: Tue – Wed 7pm, Sat 8pm, Sun 4pm, Saturday 19 June 2pm matinee Tickets on-sale soon |
