FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 13, 2019

WHAT: Based on an actual historical event, the play dramatizes the corruption of the commander
of the Order of Calatrava and the effects of the commander’s tyranny on the pastoral
village of Fuente Ovejuna. The commander, while glorious in battle, lacks moral character
and mistreats the villagers. Eventually the villagers stand together and kill the
commander. Spanish royals also become involved in the drama when they learn about
the commander’s murder: “Fuenteovejuna did it.”
