«Fuente Ovejuna» is the play by Félix Lope de Vega published by Austral in paperback, with 192 pages and text in Spanish.
Set in 1476, the play recreates the uprising of the villagers of Fuente Ovejuna against the abuses of their lord, which ends with his death. Before the judge, everyone answers «Fuente Ovejuna did it», and that collective solidarity becomes a symbol of the fight against oppression. Honour, love and popular justice sustain the plot.
