The Latchis Theatre, 50 Main Street, Brattleboro, presents a simulcast of the National Theatre Live in HD’s “Yerma” on Saturday, September 23, at 4 p.m.

The incredible Billie Piper (Penny Dreadful, Great Britain) returns in her Olivier Award-winning role, in which a young woman is driven to the unthinkable by her desperate desire to have a child, in Simon Stone’s radical production of Lorca’s achingly powerful masterpiece. Piper won the 2017 Olivier Award for Best Actress for this role. Set in contemporary London, Piper’s portrayal of a woman in her 30s struggling to conceive builds with elemental force to a staggering, shocking climax.

This unmissable theatre phenomenon sold out at the Young Vic and critics call it ‘shatteringly powerful’ (Independent) and ‘an extraordinary theatrical triumph’ (The Times).  One of theatre’s hottest tickets currently, sold out at the Young Vic … this simulcast gives audiences a rare opportunity.

General admission is $20, students $10.  Please call or email Sharry Manning, sjmpr@comcast.net 802.257.5717 for questions and advance credit card purchases.
