Yerma
Playwright/Dramaturgo: Federico García Lorca
Presented by/Presentado por: Cruzando Caminos Grupo Teatral
Director/Directora: Linda Gould Levine
Thursday, July 15th, 2021 at 7PM via YouTube
Yerma is the tragic story of a woman who lives in 1930s rural Spain and who longs to have a child. As time progresses, without result, her desperation grows as does her husband's lack of interest in having a child. Lorca masterfully captures the anguish of his protagonist who feels out of place in her social sphere and the dramatic decision she makes at the end of the play.
Yerma es la historia trágica de una mujer que vive en la España rural de los 1930s y que ansía tener un hijo. A medida que pasa el tiempo, sin resultado, su desesperación va creciendo así como la falta de interés de su esposo en tener un hijo. Lorca capta con maestría la angustia de su protagonista que se siente fuera de lugar en su entorno social y la decisión dramática que toma al final de la obra.
