Yerma

May 20, 8pm; May 21, 5pm; May 25-27, 8pm; May 28, 5pm; June 1, 7pm; June 2-3, 8pm; June 4, 5pm; June 8, 7pm; June 9-10, 8pm; June 11, 5pm; June 15, 7pm; June 16-17, 8pm; June 18, 5pm

Federico Garcia Lorca's aching portrait of one woman's longing to have a child finds fresh expression in Melinda Lopez's adaptation. Consumed by her dream of motherhood, Yerma defies her husband and confronts her community. In this darkly poetic fable, Yerma's obsessive desire propels her into a collision with the universe that is urgent and terrible in scope.

Yerma is a woman who deeply loves her husband Juan, but she longs above all to have a child. Her desire for motherhood becomes an all consuming obsession that sets her against her husband, her neighbors, and the expectations of her community with tragic results. With 'Yerma,' Melinda Lopez weaves Lorca's incredible poetry together with a visceral exploration of raw, human emotions. A West Coast premiere!

"...approachable, even conversational, without losing the beauty of Lorca's poetry." - the arts fuse

Pay-what-you-can previews May 20 through May 26.

$26-46; pay what you can May 20-May 26.
