A nadie se le dio veneno en risa

Four improvisers recreate the Golden Age with comic scenes built from audience suggestions. A comedy show staged at the Nave de Terneras, in Madrid.

This comedy brings together four improvisers who take the Spanish Golden Age as their playground. The scenes are not fixed in advance: they are built on the spot from suggestions offered by the audience, and each performance depends to a large extent on what the room proposes.

On stage, gentlemen, rogues, kings and servants find themselves caught up in love intrigues, matters of honour, religious affairs and reflections on the fleeting nature of life, which were the predominant themes of that era. The show takes Lope de Vega's maxim of delighting the audience as its starting point.

Nave de Terneras, in Madrid, is the venue hosting this comedy show, with four performers on stage and an auditorium that takes a direct part in the development of each scene.
