YERMA by Federico Garcia Lorca in a version by Frank McGuiness.
An Irish adaptation of a passionate Spanish fable of infertility.
I want to know ... Why have I no child? I'm ready, I'm waiting. Am I to be left looking after birds, skirting the curtains on my windows? Well I won't. Tell me what I've to do.
Have I to stick needles into my eyes? What you say I'll do it. Tell me.
Music and songs composed by HENRY DAGG Directed by KATHARYN BAIRD BBC Northern Ireland (R)
