YERMA Highly Recommended by The Chicago Reader!

Yay!
And here's what is says:

YERMA Yerma bemoans her barrenness in every scene of Federico Garcia Lorca's 1934 play, the second in his "blood trilogy." But the script is so emotionally intricate, and this pared Bohemian Theatre Ensemble production so supple, that she holds you in her maniacal grip for the show's entire 85 minutes.

A new translation/adaptation by Thomas J. Samorian and director Peter Robel gives the story a light, unpretentious feel, and a subtly revised ending makes Yerma less terrifying. Yet the play's sense of inexorable tragedy remains. Ultimately Yerma's not about wanting a baby--it's about wanting justice in a world bereft of it.

Kristy Hartsgrove is fluid and passionate, delicate and fierce, as Yerma, and Alanda Coon shines as her earth-mother opposite.
