Abstract

From 2005 onwards, with the law of equal marriage, works that portray the homosexual
reality, however, despite the fact that there already exist a good number of texts, both of
theoretical and fictional drama, which address gender-based violence, we hardly find a
handful of works that dare to portray the violence in homosexual relationship. This essay,
therefore, aims to make visible the violence at the heart of the lesbian couple, and analyzes
it as a process of domination and control similar to that which occurs in heterosexual
couples. To this purpose we will use the plays of Alicia Casado, Mar Gómez González,
Gorka González Carazo, Marta Mangado y Ramón Paso.
