Yerma

Description

Written by Federico García Lorca and brought to life with a new student translation, Yerma tells the story of a young couple struggling with the pressures of having a child in a small rural town in southern Spain, where the townsfolk watch and whisper about their every move. The young woman, Yerma, becomes increasingly desperate to fulfil the duty society has assigned her, while her husband, Juan, a hard-working man of the fields, hates to have his or his wife’s honour called into question. In this eerie, dream-like retelling of the classic play, be transported back to Andalusia of the early 20th century, where honour, tradition and reputation rule above all.
