Тирсо де Молина
The courtyard structure was maintained in permanent theatres built for the purpose from the end of the sixteenth century, called "corrales de comedias," which used the open-air enclosed rectangular courtyard typical of a block of houses. Playwrights and dramatists such as Lope de Vega, Juan Pérez de Montalbán, Tirso de Molina, and Pedro Calderón de la Barca created works which were performed in "corrales de comedias."
