The play was revived by the Donmar Warehouse, London, in February 2018. Winner of the London Critics Circle Award for Best New Play.As a love story, The York Realist is riveting and heart-rendering... Gill is always terrifically perceptive about male tenderness. The personal and political are subtly united in a study of English masculinity, class and culture. Such outstanding work.Independent on SundaySensationally fine and poignant.

It is about the way the English, however hard they try, can never finally escape their origins. But, far from being emotionally conservative, it is adventurous, witty and fresh... The play comes like a rare blast of reality.Guardian

Reunimos dos grandes obras, una de teatro y la otra de poesía, así como una serie de ilustraciones que el propio Federico García Lorca realizó para Romancero gitano.Yerma «Pero tú no. Cuando nos ca

Uno de los dramas claves del autor.Yerma tiene un único proyecto en el que se entremezclan el deseo personal y el mandato social de ser madre, es la tragedia en la que Lorca desarrolló con mayor amplitud y relieve un tema central en su obra: el de la esterilidad y la fecundidad. Sobre la protagonista proyecto, sin duda, un problema personal intimo.

Yerma formaba parte de una trilogia dramatica de la tierra española y en ella se plantea un proceso critico a la moral sexual del pais.
