Acción Cultural Española supports in this new edition the autumn program of the Cervantes Theater in London for 2023, which includes the cycles: New Spanish Dramaturgy, Contemporary Spanish Theatre, Approach to the Theater of the Spanish Golden Age, Learning from Our Teachers and the Red program UK that works with other theaters and companies in the United Kingdom to promote Spanish theatre.
Within the Cycle Learning from our teachers, the 125th anniversary of the birth of Federico García Lorca is celebrated, with a program in which they pay homage to the most international Spanish playwright with one of his best-known works, "La Casa de Bernarda Alba" and also with another much less well-known, but which curiously has had a very special trajectory in the United Kingdom (it was directed by Joan Littlewood with the Theater Workshop in 1949) “Amor de Don Perlimplín con Belisa en su jardín”.
The Cervantes Theatre opened its doors in November 2016. It is a theater created by the Spanish Theater Company (STC), a charity (non-profit organization) that aims to bring the best of Spanish and Latin American culture to London and the British public. The Cervantes Theater is the first theater in London dedicated to showing Spanish and Latin American works, in English and Spanish. At the Cervantes Theater, our contemporary authors, new dramaturgy and also our classics are represented, as well as small-format music and dance to a wide audience of all nationalities. Productions and workshops for schools are also carried out as part of their educational program. Through its bilingual programming, the Cervantes Theater promotes cultural exchange between Spain, Latin America and the United Kingdom and has become a reference point in London for Spanish-language culture.
