Lope de Vega, an astonishing author from the Spanish Golden Age, wrote his masterpiece, FUENTE OVEJUNA, in 1612. A powerful mix of music, singing, dance, humor, and unforgettable drama, Lope was inspired by a historical incident: farmers and peasants of the village of Fuente Ovejuna in Castile rose up against a military commander and his soldiers who raped the women and oppressed the villagers.

For his play, Lope de Vega created Laurencia who inspires the peasants of Fuente Ovejuna to revolt against tyranny and abuse. Laurencia has become one of the greatest female characters in world drama and her stirring words have rung out for centuries. And, though he wrote long before America’s Declaration of Independence, the French Revolution, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and today’s #MeToo movement, some of the themes of FUENTE OVEJUNA are feminism, sexual violence, class, collective resistance, and human rights.
