Yerma

Yerma written by Garcia Lorca is script that involves multiple characters but the main two characters are Yerma and Juan who are a married couple who have yet to conceive a child. A script that tells the tale of love turned to hate, desperation, and unfulfilled dreams Lorca's Yerma is a drama with no doubt about it.

Lorca's drama can be a story to relate to for some but obviously not all and the way the script flows gives it soap opera feel in a way, when she is asking him about kids and he gives her the runaround which leads to so much more. One of the best things about the script in my opinion is how vivid the lines are with everything down to talking about food it becomes easy to imagine the events unfolding in your head while still giving it a sense of flexibility in how to imagine it as so many plays have already done.

I rather enjoyed Lorca's play although it is not something that I can relate to in real life it reminds me of spanish soap opera's my parents watch and adds a certain twist in the end that is depicted in the picture above produced by Wickham productions.
