Photo Flash: First Look at Lope de Vega's LIKE SHEEP TO WATER, OR FUENTE OVEJUNA at Trinity Rep

Trinity Repertory Company presents Lope De Vega's Like Sheep to Water, or Fuente Ovejuna translated by Curt Columbus and directed by Mark Valdez, with original music by Jerediah Gonzalez. Performances run through June 11. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

In 15th-century Spain, a menacing Commander terrorizes a small town's citizens-especially the women. Pushed to their limit, the people of Fuente Ovejuna rise up against their oppressor in a fierce act of unity and bravery. Based on actual events, the story was immortalized by one of Spain's greatest and most influentiAl Golden Age dramatists. Now, Trinity Rep's adaptation of this timeless masterpiece reverberates with fresh urgency.

Curt Columbus spent over a year translating and adapting the prolific Golden Age text. Combined with Jerediah Gonzalez's original score written specifically for this production, Trinity Rep's Like Sheep to Water, or Fuente Ovejuna is simultaneously a revived classic and an innovative, poignant retelling.
