Spanish Golden Age theatre

Calderón de la Barca, a key figure in the theatre of the Spanish Golden Age

Spanish Golden Age theatre refers to theatre in Spain roughly between 1590 and 1681.[1] Spain emerged as a European power after it was unified by the marriage of Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile in 1469 and then claimed for Christianity at the Siege of Granada in 1492.[2] The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries saw a monumental increase in the production of live theatre as well as in the importance of the arts within Spanish society.
