Una de las obras fundamentales en la historia del teatro español. Un noble tiránico y abusivo con sus vasallos. Una sublevación popular que culmina en la justa venganza. Una acción que no deja descanso, mujeres con gran personalidad, la fuerza colectiva contra el despotismo, un crimen perdonado por los Reyes, hacen de Fuenteovejuna una pieza mítica.
