[Comedias] Recent plays based on Golden Age classics?

[comedias at comedias.org]

His may not be what you're looking for, but after translating a few golem age plays into rhyming verse, I decided to write a new play, not based on a previous Spanish play but rather using the verse forms and rhetorical choices typical of the traditional Spanish comedia.  The result was the award-winning The Prince of L.A, on the sexual scandals in the Church and written entirely in redondillas, quintillas, decimas, terza rima and my quatrain equivalent of romance.

There are myriad adaptations of Life Is a Dream, of course, most of them referring to that play in their title. But are any of you aware of others?  Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thank you.
