Lorca's Yerma

Desperate to begin a family, Yerma undertakes a journey of discovery only to uncover a secret held deep within her husband's heart. Haunted by children, Yerma's awakening ends in an unspeakable act. A play which strips bare the raw emotions of women and men, Anthony Weigh's version of Federico Garcia Lorca's Yerma premiered at Hull Truck in October 2011, in a co-production with the Gate Theatre, London.
