"Homestead" by By Steven Dykes, based on Lorca's "La Casa de Bernarda Alba"
Shady Dolls Theatre Company - The Courtyard at Covent Garden, Theatre Museum/2006
Directed by Steven Dykes - Costumes designed by Emma Child - Lighting design by Karl Lawton
SET DESIGNED BY SAKINA KARIMJEE

This reworking of Lorca's play transposes the action from thirties rural Spain to the plains of 1950s Texas and a Primitive Baptist family. The young women are trapped within the isolation of the great expanse of space of the Texan plains. The stifling dry heat of the dusty environment is also ever present in design for the stage floor.
