Abstract

In the current stage, the repertoire of youth and children’s theatre is diverse. Among all the plays we can find, there are several staging which are classic works adaptations. Although, several times, they don’t come from plays, but from narrative works as El Quijote or Perrault’s tales. And, in case of being from a play, it is Shakespeare and his tragedy Romeo and Juliet, the most play author and text. This article analyses this condition and tries to show, through innovative staging conduct for theatre companies like Pie Izquierdo or Tropos Teatro de títeres, that Spanish Golden Age playwriters like Lope de Vega or Calderón also can be an excellent investment to entertain and teach universal values to youth and children’s public.
