THE COAL MINE THEATRE PRESENTS THE CANADIAN PREMIERE OF:

YERMA

Written by Simon Stone after Federico García Lorca
Directed by Diana Bentley

A young woman is driven to the unthinkable by her desperate desire to have a child. Set in contemporary London, this radical production of Lorca’s classic tragedy builds with elemental force to a staggering, shocking, climax.

In the new year, with YERMA by Simon Stone after Federico García Lorca, the Coal Mine celebrates several major benchmarks. First produced at The Young Vic in 2016, starring Billie Piper, Stone’s inaugural production went on to become one of the UK's most acclaimed and awarded productions of the decade, with Piper winning all six available Best Actress awards, including the coveted Laurence Olivier Award. The production also won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Revival. It then made its way across the pond in 2018, playing a sold out run at The Park Avenue Armory to more unanimous praise.

★★★★★ "A shatteringly powerful reinvention of a familiar classic"
