Fuenteovejuna

Escrito por Lope de Vega

Narrado por Kendal Rigans

El drama se presenta con un protagonista colectivo (los habitantes del pueblo), como en la Numancia (1585) cervantina o en Los persas de Esquilo. Como ocurre con otras obras dramáticas clásicas, Fuenteovejuna de Lope ha alcanzado la categoría de símbolo, el del prototipo iconográfico-teatral de "la unión del pueblo contra la opresión y el atropello".

Lope de Vega

Lope de Vega (1562-1635) was Spain's first great playwright. The most prolific dramatist in the history of the theatre, he is believed to have written some 1500 plays of which about 470 survive. He established the conventions for the Spanish comedia in the last decade of the 16th century, influenced the development of the zarzuela, and wrote numerous autosacramentales.The son of an embroiderer, he took part in the conquest of Terceira in the Azores (1583) and sailed with the Armada in 1588, an event that inspired his epic poem La Dragentea (1597). Among his many notable works are Fuenteovejuna (c. 1614) in which villagers murder their tyrannous feudal lord and are saved by the king's intervention, and El castigo sin venganza, in which a licentious duke maintains his public reputation by killing his adulterous wife and her illegitimate son.
