About this title: The second of Lorca's trilogy of rural dramas, "Yerma" is a blend of contrasting moods through which Lorca charts the increasingly destructive obsession of a childless young country wife, and probes the darker zones of human fears and desires. The play's rich mode of expression - a combination of verbal, visual and auditory images and rhythms - is also geared to celebrating sexual attraction and fertility, creation and procreation.

"I loved this play. Lorca conveys Yerma's desire for a child so masterfully that it's palpable. I was really invested in this story, and I loved that Lorca took it somewhere that I wasn't expecting by the end of the play."
By Ellie,
Henley-On-Thames, OXON, The United Kingdom
"An absolutely beautiful play, concerned with a central female character who is yearning for a child which she canot concieve.
There is a mix of beautiful language and poetry, and the sybolism used is incredible.
The only thing is not being able to read spanish, I think takes away from it somewhat, as I know that it SOUNDS way better in Spanish, and I think would be better.
It would almost be worth learning Spanish just for Lorca I think!"
