About this listen

It’s a sweltering summer in Flatbush. In a neighborhood overrun by wrecking crews and new construction, the five Abellard sisters take refuge in their family home. In spite of their jovial, teasing conversations, the sisters are mourning the death of their father and the changing neighborhood. Each of them is also confronting personal losses of their youth and their dreams for the future. Inspired by the classic play House of Bernarda Alba by Federico García Lorca, but bracingly contemporary, Bernarda’s Daughters confronts issues of class, race, gentrification, and where a woman’s place is in a rapidly changing world. Drenched in sparkling, witty dialog, Bernarda’s Daughters is a thrilling, engrossing exploration of a family at a crossroads.

Great play off Broadway I think this show should have a transfer from off Broadway and into London

Great play

I’m not sure what I was expecting when I downloaded this. Certainly not an intricately woven story with astute dialogue, and excellent actors. I had to stop what I was doing, so I could listen properly to the carefully crafted dialogue.

A moving treat
