Biographical note
"FG Lorca (1898-1936) is Spain's major poet and playwright. Alongside 'Yerma', his plays include 'Blood Wedding', 'Marianna Pineda' and 'The House of Bernarda Alba'. Pam Gems' first major success was Dusa, Fish, Stas and Vi staged in 1976. Among her other best-known works are Piaf (1978), Camille (1984), The Danton Affair (1986), The Blue Angel (1991), The Snow Palace (1997) and Stanley (1997), based on the life of the painter Stanley Spencer, first produced at the RNT." ""Pam Gems' magnificent adaptation of this poetic tragedy is a gift"" - The Guardian"
"In a remote Spanish village Yerma, a woman of full of life and passion, longs for a child but is unable to conceive. This compelling and elemental tale of a woman's quest for a child taps into some of the most universal themes of theatre - love, passion, sexuality, marriage. In this adaptation, Pam Gems has stripped the text to the poetic core of Lorca's words in all their epic glory. Vibrant and sweeping, combining elements of dance and song, Yerma is an exhilarating theatrical event. "
