120. The Cup | Yerma, Coal Mine Theatre

Welcome back to the 120th episode of The Cup which is our a weekly (give or take, TBD, these are unprecedented times) performing arts talk show presented by Cup of Hemlock Theatre. With the theatres on a come back we offer a mix of both reviews of live shows we've seen and continued reviews of prophet productions! For our 120th episode we bring you a duet review of Coal Mine Theatre’s production of Yerma, adapted by Simon Stone (after Federico Garcia Lorca), starring Sarah Gadon in the lead role. Join Jillian Robinson and Ryan Borochovitz, as they discuss the vibrant venue, the power of proximity, and the whims and woes of womanhood. Yerma is playing at the new Coal Mine Theatre (2076 Danforth Ave, Toronto, ON) until March 5th, 2023. Tickets can be purchased from the following link: https://www.coalminetheatre.com/yerma Less importantly, this review contains many SPOILERS for Yerma. It will begin with a general non-spoiler review until the 10:00:00 mark, followed by a more in-depth/anything goes/spoiler-rich discussion. If you intend to see the production, we recommend you stop watching after that point, or at least proceed at your own risk.   Follow our panelists:   Jillian Robinson – Instagram: @jillian.robinson96 // See her in the Women at Play(s) Festival: https://www.ticketscene.ca/events/43374/ (final week!)    Ryan Borochovitz – [Just send all that love to CoH instead; he won’t mind!]    Follow Cup of Hemlock Theatre on Instagram/Facebook/Twitter: @cohtheatre
