November 9 Fuenteovejuna classical Spanish drama in Yecla
The classic play by Lope de Vega at the Teatro Concha Segura in Yecla
The drama Fuenteovejuna was written during the time of Shakespeare by Spanish playwright Lope de and was first published in 1619. However, it is believed to have been written some 5 years earlier.
The plot is based on a historical incident which took place in the village of Fuenteovejuna in 1476. On the orders of the Order of Calatrava, Fernán Gómez de Guzmán mistreated the villagers, who banded together and killed him, and when a magistrate was sent by King Fernando I of Aragon the villagers responded to all questions by stating "Fuenteovejuna did it", even when threatened with torture.
This performance by the Tablas Teatro company begins on November 9 at 20.00 with tickets available for 6 euros online here.
