This collection of original new essays focuses on the many ways in which early modern Spanish plays engaged their audiences in a dialogue about abuse, injustice, and inequality. Far from the traditional monolithic view of theatrical works as tools for expanding ideology, these essays each recognize the power of theatre in reflecting on issues related to social justice. The first section of the book focuses on textual analysis, taking into account legal, feminist, and collective bargaining theory. The second section explores issues surrounding theatricality, performativity, and intellectual property laws through an analysis of contemporary adaptations. The final section reflects on social justice from the practitioners’ point of view, including actors and directors.Social Justice in Spanish Golden Age Theatre reveals how adaptations of classical theatre portray social justice and how throughout history the writing and staging of comedias has been at the service of a wide range of political agendas.

This book focuses on how Siglo Latinx theatre practitioners are creating new adaptations of classical Hispanic plays for contemporary audiences by highlighting and raising awareness of their own realities, lived experiences, and socio-cultural backgrounds as BIPOC artists in North America. Siglo Latinx is a new interdisciplinary designation for studying the work of Latinx artists, who are broadly defined as Latin Americans living and/or performing in the in diaspora, particularly in North America, who adapt early modern Hispanic plays. Spanish professors Erin Alice Cowling and Glenda Y. Nieto-Cuebas present the work of prominent companies and independent artists who are rewriting and recontextualizing Hispanic classical texts to promote socially transformative experiences for diverse audiences. This book aims to popularize the work of Latinx creators who, although well-known and established in their own regions, are less familiar to mainstream audiences and less studied by scholars and students dedicated to theatre, performance, Hispanic, Latinx, or early modern studies. By drawing attention to and increasing the recognition of these transformative practices, Siglo Latinx seeks to promote new, inclusive, and accessible adaptations of classical Spanish plays.
