Federico García Lorca

"Well we've got three floors right. Plenty of room... Room for a children's bedroom. Room for two." London, the present day. A woman is driven to the unthinkable by her desperate desire to have a child. Written and directed by Simon Stone, this radical new version of Lorca's tragedy of yearning and loss won universal critical acclaim when it premiered at the Young Vic in July 2016. Yerma triumphed at the 2017 Olivier Awards, with the production winning Best Revival, and Piper winning Best Actress. She also won the Evening Standard Natasha Richardson Award for Best Actress. Maureen Beattie, Brendan Cowell, John MacMillan and Charlotte Randle received unanimous praise for their performances.

Yerma

Sobre la protagonista proyectó, sin duda, Federico un problema personal íntimo. Pero el alcance de la obra rebasa la significación en dos direcciones: la universal mítica, apoyada en la creencia de que la fecundidad es una forma de salvación, y la específicamente española. "Yerma" formaba parte de una trilogía dramática de la tierra española y en ella se plantea un proceso crítico a la moral sexual del país. El subtítulo de «poema trágico» revela bien a las claras la intención estética que, tras las huellas de Lope de Vega, lleva a Lorca a construir un mundo cuajado de símbolos y lirismo. Edición de Miguel García-Posada.

Garcia Lorca's long out-of-print poetic sequence about New York City is as contemporary as today's headlines: slums, racism, violence and cries of loneliness punctuate this verse. "This is one of the perplexing classics of 20th-century poetry. . . . (The collection) is a fierce indictment of the modern world incarnated in city life . . ".--"The New Yorker".
