Teatro clásico español

Teatro clásico español refers to the influential theatrical tradition in Spain from the 16th and 17th centuries, characterized by its structured plots, poetic language, and focus on themes like honor, justice, and human nature. Prominent playwrights such as Lope de Vega, Calderón de la Barca, and Tirso de Molina created works that combined drama, comedy, and morality, often performed in open-air theaters. This period is considered a golden age of Spanish literature, laying the foundation for modern theater with its innovative narrative techniques and emphasis on emotional expression.
