ATA BARN SEASON 2022

HOMESTEAD by Steven Dykes

Based on La casa de Bernarda Alba by Federico Garcia Lorca.

Governed by their mother’s faith, following their father’s death, the Beckman daughters face a lengthy confinement in their remote Texan ranch house. Set in the American South of the turbulent 1950s, Homestead is a thrilling reimagining of Lorca's masterpiece.

“I know I’m not the Chosen now, I don’t feel that way about God. But still I know that feeling and it’s just as overwhelming and it’s calling me tonight!”

THE TROJAN WOMEN by Euripides

Euripides’ drama The Trojan Women is one of the most powerful indictments of war ever written. In this new version, Kennelly gives the play a twentieth century edge, turning this classic into a modern, active drama. This production positions this tragedy in a place that is both then and now. It draws on the ideas of the universal and the mythic to explore the impact of war, the complexities of women, and defines the nature of their courage and resilience.
