Berkeley, California's Shotgun Players is currently presenting an in-person production of Yerma, but you can watch a recording online. Melinda Lopez's adaptation of Federico García Lorca's poetic classic about a woman's desperate desire for a child resets the tale in a 1930s Mexican American community in Southern California, as the title character's obsession drives her to the edge.
