About the Show

The peasants under an authoritarian ruler fight back for their rights and their freedom.

Fuente Ovejuna, a play renowned for its biting portrayal and critique of abuses of power, is remounted to remind audiences of the very real threats that oppressive authoritarian rule presents to any government system that prioritizes its people.

For too long, the poor residents of Fuente Ovejuna have wearily weathered the cruelty of their lewd overlord, but when one woman stands up for herself, the town is motivated, at last, into rebellion.

Performed in Spanish Verse with Overtitles in English

Clever, Entertaining

See it if Like historically theme plays & characters, quotes based on true events! That somewhat triumph in the end over a brutal military commander.

Don't see it if oppression & conquer of weaker counties, womanizing by men and/or women telling the men they are weak (sheep) 4not protecting them not4you.

Clever, Ambitious, Absorbing

See it if One of the best productions of Fuenteovejuna I’ve ever seen. Great performances and a super creative set.

Don't see it if Classical Spanish drama is not your thing.
