About Yerma
Yerma (Sanchez-Gijon) longs for a child but is unable to conceive. After an old, wise, woman (Papas) assures her that the reason she cannot become pregnant may be due more to her husband (Diego) than herself, Yerma regards her unfeeling spouse with growing hatred. Her increasing obsession causes her to be tempted to seduce Victor, a shepherd from the village, but her moral values repress her feelings. Desperation drives her to the brink of insanity, reaching a breathtaking climax in this brilliant drama by the great Spanish poet and dramatist Federico Garcia Lorca. END
