		Yerma would have to be propped up slightly and with her face towards the audience - Juan in shadow, a humped figure under the sheet with his back to us.
		Yerma is still in the good feeling left over in her by the dream.
		Yerma doesn't respond directly to this but turns the conversation to love, reminding Juan how willingly she came to him as a bride.

	Yerma (1999) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Yerma, a young woman whose marriage to Juan has produced no children, is frustrated because she sees the years go by without having the child she yearns for.
		"Yerma" the excellent play of one of Spain's best known poets, Federico Garcia Lorca, is given a tepid cinematic translation by its director, Pilar Tavora, who also adapted it for the cinema.
		This "Yerma" cries for a stronger hand to bring all that Lorca created, and worst of all, all the Lorcan poetry is not to be found in this version.

	washingtonpost.com: Barren 'Yerma,' Delivering The Goods (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Withered!" is the childless Yerma's plaintive lament, and she doesn't care who in her gossipy Spanish village hears it.
		"Yerma" is one of the signature works of lyrical naturalism by Garcia Lorca, a celebrated dramatist executed by right-wing forces in Spain less than two years after the play's premiere.
		The only access they have to a creative life is through the birth canal, and when a woman of Yerma's passion and feverish determination for a larger purpose is denied even that outlet, the results are bound to be dire.

	Review (April 20 - April 26, 1995)
		Yerma and Juan are surrounded by a bunch of equally one-dimensional characters.
		Yerma is so oppressed by the weight of her infertility, her desire for Victor is muted.
		Being a childless woman myself and having experienced a yearning now and again, I thought I would find some empathy for Yerma, but at the end of 90 minutes, I was angry that she had been portrayed in such a simplistic, single-minded manner.

	Scenic Design: Yerma \| Portfolio \| Miguel Romero
		A stunted tree (a, b) reaching toward the sun for nourishment mirrored Yerma’s appeal to her cruelly deceptive religion.
		A pool of water located at the base of the set and used in the laundry scene reinforced the contrast between purification and regeneration and the barrenness of the landscape upstage and of Yerma herself.
		Stark towers with no visible easy access loomed over the set representing how far Yerma is from attaining her goal of having a child and finding fulfillment as a woman.

		Yerma is among Garcia Lorca's last says, and it seems to have been one of those which brought to him the unwanted attention of the Republican censors.
		Yerma is on the surface a simple story--in fact, it seems to be caught in a kind of emotional stasis.
		Yerma is a "country girl" of rural Spain, loving and tender toward her young husband Juan, and desiring nothing more than to have a child; it's a desire which has remained unfulfilled for the first two years of their marriage.

	BoHo Theatre presents Lorca's "Yerma"
		Yerma is one of the three tragic plays which form Lorca's famous "Rural trilogy." The two other plays in the cycle are Bodas de sangre (Blood Wedding) and La Casa de Bernarda Alba (The House of Bernarda Alba).
		García Lorca's use of poetic language and ritualistic themes to portray Yerma's struggle to become pregnant recalls the dramatic elements found in the classic Greek tragedies, establishing the playwright and poet as a master of theatrical structure and content.
		It is in the final scene at the hermitage, a fertility festival, where Yerma's burning, primal need to bear a child culminates into a scene illuminated with the most beautiful of García Lorca's tragic poetry and lush imagery.The play's essence discloses the unstoppable force within Yerma to fulfill her instinctual desire to have offspring.

	Yerma
		In Yerma, the second part of his definitive trilogy of tragic rural existence, he explores the sensitivities of the people of a small town in Andalusia, focusing on the mores and beliefs of the women for whom childbirth is the crowning badge and suffering is the ultimate reward.
		Yerma is the archetypal protagonist of both, being in a forced marriage, childless after several years, with a husband who objectifies her and who has no interest in children or family.
		Eventually the husband’s dictatorial attitude and the gossip of the townspeople drive Yerma to an act that seals her barren fate for the rest of her life.

	Nontraditional Production Raises Curtain on Women in Lorca's Spain
		The tragic play Yerma, which focuses on motherhood and marriage and was written in 1934 by Spanish poet and dramatist Federico García Lorca (1898–1936), will be performed at Mount Holyoke's Rooke Theatre Thursday, November 9, through Sunday, November 11.
		Mike's vision of Yerma manifests itself through a blending of artforms that is typical in Nigerian theater and seems particularly apt for this play.
		In addition to directing Yerma, Mike is teaching a course at Smith College and, as a Pioneer Valley visitor, is investigating the relationship between “town and gown.” He is always researching, he says, examining the dynamics of the local community for what might become the subject of a new work.

	Cristina Hoyos immerses herself in Lorca's work with her production of 'Yerma'
		The bailaora and choreographer from Seville, with the help of artistic director José Carlos Plaza, presents her dance company's interpretation of the Lorca drama as the jewel in the crown at the third 'Lorca y Granada' season, jointly organized by the Andalusian Ministry of Culture and Granada city council.
		The show, based on Lorca's play of a married woman who yearns for motherhood to no avail and struggles to maintain her dignity, will be performed in the magnificent Generalife gardens, alongside the world famous Alhambra palace.
		"If I played Yerma, the audience would say it's hardly unusual to not bear children at my age." This serves to confirm Cristina Hoyos's plans to "start leaving the starring roles to others" and begin planning for her retirement, "slowly and all in good time" as she often says.

		The eponymous subject of Lorca's 1934 "poem in six scenes", Yerma is a sort of reverse Medea - the difference being that whereas Medea feeds her children to their faithless father, Yerma feeds her narrow but well-meaning husband to children who aren't even born yet.
		We see Yerma evolve from a juicy young shepherd's wife, eager to start having babies, into a domestic monster for whom anatomy has become a grotesque destiny.
		"Yerma", says the emigre actress, who made her American debut in the play this fall at the Indiana Repertory Theater in Indianapolis, "is absolutely an exploration of an observed character - which is something I can connect to.

		The second of Lorca's great trilogy of rural dramas, Yerma is a concentrated blend of contrasting moods through which Lorca charts the increasingly destructive obsession of a childless young country wife, and probes the darker zones of human fears and desires.
		The play's rich mode of expression- a powerful combination of verbal, visual and auditory images and rhythms- is also geared to celebrating sexual attraction and fertility, creation and procreation.
		Its a story about the unrealistic pressures and expectations of society on women during her time.

		Her production is punctuated with striking set pieces, most notably a scene where a group of washerwomen slap their sodden laundry against the floor to the beat of the percussive backing music, sending arcs of water flying through the air.

		Joy Elias Rilwan is also excellent as the life-loving pagan woman who tries to advise her.
