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.
