YERMA Foul Play RUMPUS Drama -- Note this is an archived listing for performances in the year 2019 -- Written By: Originally written by Federico García Lorca Adapted by Holly Brindley Directed By: Nescha Jelk Nescha JelkYerma 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 into a 2019 Thermomix, exploring what might happen to the couple under the myriad contemporary pressures surrounding marriage and family today, asking: what happens when our desires equally pull and propel us from the ones we love?
