Don Gil de las calzas verdes is a classic of the Spanish Golden Age that still resonates strongly in our time.
And the truth is that this work, written in the 17th century, is much more than a comedy of intrigue; it is a celebration of wit and female power, values that today, more than ever, we need to recognize and vindicate on stage.
AMOR SECRETO HASTA LOS CELOS
Corral de Comedias
19 de septiembre de 2026 - 20:30 h.
Amor secreto hasta celos brings to the stage, as its name clearly indicates, a comedy of intrigue motivated by loves, secrets and jealousies. The action takes place mainly in Zaragoza, at an indeterminate moment of the Middle Ages, and revolves around the difficulties of two lovers of noble condition, doña Clara and don Juan. Although it is a reciprocated love, the lady does not want to reveal her love for fear of what they might say about her in court. Doña Clara accepts don Juan's love on one condition: that both keep their passion so secret that no one can discover it. This is the starting situation that allows the amorous conflicts of the comedy and its dramatic situations to be set in motion, since both doña Clara and don Juan are objects of desire of other characters who will try to achieve their goal.
EL PERRO DEL HORTELANO
Corral de Comedias

La dama boba, completed on 28 de abril de 1613, is a work belonging to the genre of intrigue comedies that presents the recurring and revisited comic interplay between love and reason, characteristic of both the Golden Age and its great author Lope de Vega. A story of blue blood, eroticism and privileges —those held by the aristocracy at the beginning of the 17th century. El perro del hortelano, a drama of love, envy, jealousy and honour, was written in 1613 by the great playwright Lope de Vega.
The action, which takes place in Nápoles, tells the story of Diana, countess of Belfor. Diana is a beautiful and headstrong young woman who is harassed by several aristocratic suitors who wish to marry her. However, Diana constantly rejects all their attempts. One night, after seeing her secretary make love to her favourite lady-in-waiting, she falls madly in love with him and becomes sick with jealousy.
This is the story of a love triangle, of forbidden loves and betrayals, which takes place when Nápoles was under the rule of Spain. Thus, the Countess's household, manipulated by the nobles, represents that part of Spanish society that lived outside the country. The fact of setting the action in this European city also allows the work to be full of Italian influences and plots, which Lope was so fond of.
