Gala Theatre Presents “Yerma” By: Federico Garcia
Lorca Adapted
by: Fernando J. Lopez Directed
by: José Luis Arellano García In Spanish with English subtitles September
10th – October 4th In this new
adaptation by the Spanish playwright Fernando J. López, the cast has
been reduced to five characters: Yerma, Juan, Victor, Dolores and María. This
concentration of characters heightens the oppression of a loveless marriage,
forbidden desires and repressive society faced by Yerma in her rural environment
and underscores how even today women face the tension between motherhood and
their role in society. A playwright who has had numerous productions in
Spain, López is also a published novelist and a noted scholar in Europe and
the United States. · Regular tickets are $38 on Thursday evenings and
