| Notes: | Original Playwright - Lope de Vega. Adapted by Mar Zubieta and Francisco Rojas | |||||
| Synopsis: | When Lope de Vega launched Fuente Ovejuna (The Sheep Well) in 1614, he meant his play, based on an actual event, to sound a warning. When does political power go over-the-top and become outrageous? Lope looked back to a turbulent period in 1476 to find the answer. And in so doing created what is now considered a classic with a modern message. In some parts of the world today, Fuente Ovejuna lo hizo. ( Fuente Ovejuna did it. ) has become a catchphrase for revolution against human rights abuse, as symbolic as a raised fist against a tank in Tiananmen Square. - lorraine treanor, dc theatre scene | |||||
