For too long, the peasants of Fuente Ovejuna have meekly endured the tyranny of their lecherous overlord. But when one man stands up in defence of his beloved, the townspeople are galvanized at last into rebellion – and an extraordinary display of heroic resolve. Part comedy, part thriller, this classic of the Spanish Golden Age also resounds with beautiful music and song.
