This article focuses on the contemporary Spanish playwrights María Folguera (b. 1984) and Nando López (b. 1977), attending to their adaptations of early modern writers as a mode of commenting on and critiquing contemporary gender norms. The close reading of four theatrical productions is situated within the recent history of global feminist social movements, including #MeToo, #TimesUp, #YoSíTeCreo, #NiUnaMenos and other public debates combating misogyny, gender inequality, and gender-based violence. With attention paid to the history of gender and gender-based violence in early modern Spanish theatre, the essay creates space to consider why and how the resurgence of these texts and topics appeal to contemporary audiences. It also explores complications and context for each of these productions, and speculates on the future of early modern gender for contemporary theatre
