It could not be released or published until 1945, in Buenos Aires and thanks to the initiative of Margarita Xirgu . It exposes the story of Bernarda Alba, who after being widowed for the second time at age 60, decides to live the next eight years in the most rigorous mourning. Lorca describes the 'deep Spain' of the early 20th century, Characterized by a very violent traditional society in which the role that women play is secondary. Other prominent features are religious fanaticism and fear of discovering intimacy. With Bernarda live his five daughters (Angustias, Magdalena, Amelia, Martirio and Adela), his mother and his two maids. Among the latter is Poncia, a maid who has lived many years in the service of the old woman.
