Another aspect of the game that appealed to Arundhati was a description of Lorca. “On the title page of the play, he referred to this work as ‘a photographic documentation of women’s life in rural Spain’.

“This promotes my interest in thinking how we can represent this aspect in our work. I have designed set in Black and White. Also, Black-end-white photos will be introduced in the beginning and between each Act; our own way of presenting a live photographic documentary.”

Although a monochromatic set and the idea of the play is his idea, Arundhati says that he has not customized or modified the script. “I am from a generation who has only worked with the script and we had a lot of fantastic to choose. For me, it has always been about looking at the lines through the playwright’s eyes; he had a vision, and he wrote a dialogue. It is not for me to change it.”

According to Arundhati, many plays have a tendency to say, although it is still written long ago, but class inequality, sex division, oppression and sexuality, with their subjects of sexuality, The House of Bernarda Alba Today is relevant.
