Yerma will be screened direct from London at BMEC from 2pm on Sunday.
It tells the story of a young woman who is driven to the unthinkable by her desperate desire to have a child.
Simon Stone’s radical production of Lorca’s achingly powerful masterpiece sold out at the Young Vic in London as critics labelled it “an extraordinary theatrical triumph” (The Times) and “stunning, searing, unmissable” (Mail on Sunday).
Set in contemporary London, Piper’s portrayal of a woman in her 30s desperate to conceive builds with elemental force to a staggering, shocking, climax.
Tickets $25 adults, $23 Friends of BMEC, $15 child and $10 for groups of 10 or more. Phone 6333 6161.
