The Corral de Comedias de Alcalá is one of Europe’s oldest existing courtyard theatres. Since 2005, the Teatro de La Abadía Foundation has been in charge of the management and programming of this wonderful historic stage space, featuring a wide range of performances here in the magnificent Old Town of Alcalá de Henares. All year round the Corral de Comedias de Alcalá offers a multidisciplinary programme combining tradition and modernity. The public can enjoy over thirty different shows in a wide range of excellent theatre, music, musical theatre, flamenco and children’s productions. 2013 will be featuring pieces like “Sé de un lugar”, the theatre sensation of the Barcelona season; Woody Allen’s “Maridos y mujeres” (Husbands and Wives), directed by Àlex Rigola, or “El café” (The Coffee House), by Rainer W. Fassbinder, directed by Dan Jemmett. Some of these productions are new to the Madrid stage, while others offer the chance of seeing them in a unique setting to experience them in a different way.
