"...The great gay poet and playwright Federico García Lorca made a clear point with the title of his best-known play, The House of Bernarda Alba. Spanish matriarch Bernarda Alba rules her roost with an iron will and a firm hand. In her house, she is the law that must be obeyed by all, including her five adult daughters, all living under her roof."

"...At GALA, the modern classic is lovingly staged by José Zayas. The New York-based out director has assembled a committed cast and creative team who’ve manifested an extraordinarily timely 90-minute production performed in Spanish with English subtitles easily ready seen on multiple screens."

"...Federico García Lorca’s THE HOUSE OF BERNARDA ALBA at Gala Hispanic Theatre is both timely and timeless. Written to capture feelings of isolation in an authoritarian society, the theatre’s production builds on what came before and what is seen today."

"...GALA’s production is thought-provoking on many levels, and Lorca’s poetic language, as well as his dramatic examination of the fate of women under a repressive society, should give us pause. The playwright’s three acts compressed into one harrowing, uninterrupted journey is well worth seeing."
