Tinderbox presents a dark and seductive telling of Lorca’s powerful tragedy set in contemporary Ireland.

Against the shadows of the Cooley Mountains, a turmoil lurks beneath a family gathering. As Yerma and her husband navigate a family christening, their strained relationship is laid bare. Will Yerma’s yearning for a child drive her to despair, or can she find a way to defy societal expectations? Experience Lorca’s masterpiece of love, loss, and longing in this gripping production by the Tinderbox Theatre Company.
