Fuente Ovejuna ; Lost in a Mirror (It Serves Them Right)

Fuente Ovejuna ; Lost in a Mirror (It Serves Them Right)

Lope de Vega's Fuente Ovejuna takes its name from a Spanish Village which rebels against its military tyrant. It is a true story of rebellion led by a young woman. The play has became a symbol of worldwide struggles against oppression. Lost in a Mirror (El Castigo sin Venganza) is the story of a woman who marries a contemptous Duke and finds herself, against her will, falling in love with her stepson. Their illicit love is discovered and the Duke exacts revenge, leaving his own life in ruins. The play is driven by highly-charged sexual poetry.
