Description Yerma and Juan love each other. Deeply. The married couple spend their days gossiping about work colleagues, debating home renovations and inventing secret handshakes. But beneath this veneer of everyday domesticity, a disquieting tensity pervades from what is left unspoken. Yerma, a 40 year old Muslim woman, is desperate to have a child. Juan isn't. Neither is able to talk about it. Yerma'™s faith crumbles as the possibility of a childless future looms, whilst Juan scrambles to preserve the pieces of their relationship. Holly Brindley has poured the ingredients of Lorca's Yerma.
