The Spanish Golden Age Theatre refers to a flourishing period of theatrical production in Spain from the late 16th century to the early 17th century. This era saw the rise of notable playwrights like Lope de Vega and Tirso de Molina, who created a rich body of work that combined elements of comedy, tragedy, and social commentary. The theatre became a popular form of entertainment, reflecting the cultural and political climate of Spain during its imperial height. The performances were typically held in open-air venues or temporary stages, attracting diverse audiences. The plays often featured complex characters and intricate plots, addressing themes such as honor, love, and morality. This period laid the foundation for modern Spanish theatre and influenced later European dramatic traditions.
