NEW YORK—Based on the great Spanish poet and playwright Federico Garcia Lorca’s “Yerma,” Simon Stone’s version has brought the story up to present times and is set in chic, contemporary London.
Originally produced by London’s Young Vic company, the play was written and directed by Stone. Billie Piper, who plays the central character called Her, won universal raves and numerous acting awards. And deservedly so; it’s a tour-de-force performance.
