CHICAGO PREMIERE!
This stirring musical by Michael John LaChiusa based on
Federico García Lorca's 1936 play The House of Bernarda
Alba, tells the story of a controlling, newly-widowed mother
who is challenged by her five rebellious daughters.
She locks the door against the outside
world imprisoning the daughters within. They will live and die
as virgins, she announces. The natural inclination should be for
Alba to try and conquer death, whereas she conspires with it.
Thus the play’s modernist irony. The simple symbolism in Lorca’s
Catholic Spain, added to the bare action, at once both enfranchise
woman, and present a terrifying result of liberation.
This stirring musical by the creator of the musicals The Wild Party,
Marie Christine, and See What I Wanna See allows BoHo to
continue to push the creative and artistic boundaries, while
bringing another outstanding musical piece to the
BoHo Theatre @ Heartland Studio space.
