Considered to be Lorca's highest dramatic achievement, besides being one most well-known and dramatized works of the Spanish theater. The subtitle of the play is Drama of women in the villages of Spain. It focuses on the life of an Andalusian family in which the protagonists exercises a cruel tyranny over her five daughters. This drama explores the themes of repression, passion and nonconformity in a rural feminine world. It is worth noting the apparent simplicity of the work counterpoised against its enormous thematic complexity.
