Yerma

As in his other masterpieces, Blood Wedding and The House of Bernarda Alba, the play's main character falls victim to an overwhelming passion they cannot control

In Yerma - which means 'barren' - a woman longs to have a child by her reluctant husband

Although remaining faithful to him despite her attraction to another man, she eventually murders him in a climactic frenzy

Newly translated and introduced by John Clifford, this is the least expensive edition on the market and ideal for study and performance
