La comedia en colaboración y las prácticas refundidoras: el ejemplo de "La adúltera penitente"

Abstract

The story of Saint Theodora of Alexandria served as the basis for two Spanish Golden Age plays: Andrés de Claramonte’s Púsoseme el sol, saliome la luna, and La adúltera penitente, written in collaboration by Juan de Matos Fragoso, Jerónimo de Cáncer and Agustín Moreto. This article analyses the relationship between the two and concludes that the latter constitutes a recast of the former, so that they constitute a new example of play written in collaboration by authors of the Calderón school that use, as a procedure to compose their work, the recasting of an earlier one.
