Description
Yerma is a powerful and haunting play that explores the struggles of rural life in Spain. Written by Federico Garcia Lorca, it is part of his 'rural trilogy', a collection of plays that delve into the lives of peasants and the societal constraints they face. The play tells the story of a woman's desperate struggle against infertility, a curse that becomes a metaphor for her marriage in a traditional society that denies women equality. As she fights to overcome this obstacle, Yerma's desire for a child ultimately drives her to commit a terrible act at the end of the play. This edition of Yerma is published by Bloomsbury Academic and features 208 pages in paperback format.
