Directed by Linda Potter
Often compared to Shakespeare, Lope de Vega is considered the greatest of all Spanish playwrights, and Fuenteovejuna (The Sheep Well) is one of the most important Spanish plays. Written in 1614, the story centers on the decision of an entire village to admit to the premeditated murder of a tyrannical ruler after he terrorizes the citizens. Based on an actual historical incident, the play celebrates the concept of collective responsibility and affirms the timeless values of justice and kindness. Lope de Vega masterfully weaves tales of young lovers, justice, and honor to an exciting climax.
Diego Mansilla of the ABRHS World Language Department will help us bring the beauty of the Spanish language and culture to life on stage. This play also will be presented at the METG High School Drama Festival in March.
