Casa de Bernarda Alba / Snacks

I just came home ten minutes ago after a really nice "snack" with my classmates. We went to see a play with the school today, after what some of us went home whereas I and my friends went to the supermarket, bought snacks and then went to the park. We had really fun, and it was great that the sun was shining. Yes, the sun is shining in Paris, in mars , and the temperature was about 22°C today!Amazing ! Then what is it gonna be like in June ? Even better ( Hopefully ! ) ;-)

The play that we saw was boring. I used to like seeing plays with the class, the often are interesting and quite nice, but this one was incomprehensible. Fortunetaly,the guy who worked there and who met us told us what it was about, like a résumé : A woman losses her husband and decides to impose to her and her 5 daughters an 8-years mourning. But the husband of one of the daughters is cheating her and escapes every night ( if i understood well ) to meet the most young daughter in secret . But one night, someone ( i didn't quite understand who did it ) tries to shoot him down, but misses . His wife, who only hears the gunshot, thinks he's dead and suicides, which makes the mourning even worse. It was really complicated, but the meaning of the play was to show us the difficulties of the Spanish ( 'Cause it all happens in Spain, around 1920 ) traditions and the problems of love .
And you know the worse that made the whole thing even more incomprehensible and weird ? The three actors ( three women ) were stepping. Just like in Happy Feet. In the beginning it was cool and
 quite impressive, but after 20 minutes it became boring .
It's called : La Casa de Bernarda Alba = Bernarda Albas house .
I think I'm gonna read the book, it probably will be more clear then .
