For years now, Soheil Parsa has known that he would direct “The House of Bernarda Alba,” by Spanish playwright Federico Garcia Lorca. It’s these two companies, Parsa’s Modern Times Stage Company and Pizano’s Aluna Theatre, which are co-producing “The House of Bernarda Alba,” playing at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre through April 24. Pizano plays the title role: a domineering matriarch who essentially puts her five adult daughters under house arrest after the death of her husband. “Blood Wedding” was a big hit in 2015, winning six Dora Mavor Moore Awards in the independent theatre division including Best Production, Best Director (Parsa) and Best Female Performance (Pizano). “The House of Bernarda Alba” plays at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, 12 Alexander St., through April 24.
