A Midsummer Night's Dream

Josephine Park stars as Yerma in a gripping drama about a modern woman’s all-consuming desire for a child—and the lengths she will go to in pursuit of her dream.

What do you do when you have every opportunity in life, yet your greatest wish remains unfulfilled?

Yerma is a successful city woman in full control of her life. She has never considered having children—until the day she moves into her new townhouse. Suddenly, the desire arises: there is plenty of space, after all. She persuades her partner, and together they try for years to conceive.

As their efforts prove unsuccessful, she restructures their work and private lives around her ovulation cycles. She shares intimate details of their struggle with infertility and family pressures on social media, while her partner gradually loses interest in fertility treatments—and in their relationship. Once, she had never defined her body by its biological function. Now, the deep longing for motherhood consumes her entirely, turning into an obsession.

The Artelize Podcast: A love letter that was never sent

Before the New York Dolls. Before Debbie Harry. Before Kurt Cobain. There was Maggie Frisby. Once the roaring voice of 60s counterculture, now broke and disillusioned, a band’s youthful dreams of anarchic rebellion collapse into bitterness. Amidst the wreckage, lead singer Maggie tears through the night fuelled by booze, fury, and a voice that refuses to die.

‍50 years after David Hare’s trailblazing play set The Royal Court alight, Teeth 'N' Smiles is ready to burn things down all over again. The ship is sinking but the music remains the same.
