De muy original y castiza temática, esta obra se centra en Bernarda, una viuda que obliga a sus hijas a guardar un estricto luto de ocho años por el fallecimiento de su padre. Desde luego, se crea un cuadro oscuro y grotesco alrededor de la figura 'Todopoderosa' de la madre de la casa. La Bernarda es una mujer pétrea, dura y sin aparente piedad, y siempre respeto y temor con su actitud imponente y dictatorial.

Las hijas soportan a duras penas la situación. No están unidas entre ellas, los roces por los pretendientes son latentes y es en los que recae cierto peso de la historia. Nace y crece una trama de conflicto de intereses, traición, amor, mentira y sueños, mucho más elaborada y profunda que en 'Bodas de Sangre' (tal vez, también, por la presencia de más personajes). Las conversaciones, cada escena, están plagadas de diálogos muy bien engranados (con caos deliberado), subidas y bajadas de tono que, a la par que reflejan el castellano más castizo, cuidan el decoro y el carácter poético de la narración de Lorca.

Para mí se trata de una obra brillante, oscura, desgarradora. Imprescindible. ( )

This is dark, totally dark--a tyrant mother and her five daughters, youth springing eternal into hope but twisted, the sisters nosing toward the light like mole people and loving and fearing each other and the mother's whip hand coming down and of course it ends in BLOOD--and I can imagine it being very powerful onstage, though I only read the script, alas me.

Bernarda Alba, es una mujer de la época, que tras haber enviudado por segunda vez a los 60 años, decide vivir los próximos ocho años en el más riguroso luto, arrastrando con ella a sus cinco hijas, las cuales no podrán casarse. Una de ellas, Adela, decidirá rebelarse contra su madre y encontrar el amor aun estado encerrada en casa. ( )
