Yerma (Presented by Shotgun Players)

  • Ashby Stage 1901 Ashby Avenue Berkeley, CA, 94704 United States (map)

A young Latina woman is blowing on a mature dandelion and the seeds are floating out from her. The colors are brown, parchment, and black.

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.
