Fuenteovejuna

                            By Lope de Vega

                                                     Directed by Maru Garcia

First published in 1619, the play is based upon a historical incident that took place in the village of FuenteOvejuna in 1476. While under the command of the ruthless Commander Guzmán, the mistreated villagers band together and kill him. When a magistrate sent by the King arrives to investigate, the villagers, even under the pain of torture, respond only by saying "Fuenteovejuna did it" thus obtaining the pardon from the King and their freedom. A powerful play which depicts the triumph over the mistreatment from authorities.

Rated: PG13 for descriptions & depictions of physical and sexual violence.
