4.2 Theatre

The Golden Age of Spanish culture left

its greatest imprint on theatre, where

Lope de Vega and friends dramatised

the everyday grit of 17th century life.

A second coming, three hundred years

later, was led by the prodigious, doomed

Federico García Lorca, a playwright

similarly interested in the human

experience.
