[Comedias] Early Modern Spanish Actresses in England

[AHCT Listserv]

Good morning!

I'm researching women actors from Siglo de Oro who may have traveled and
performed in England. Melveena McKendrick, in *Theatre in Spain*, mentions
that "the occasional Spanish acting troupe even found its way to France and
England" (266); however, I cannot find her source. Many of the secondary
sources on players from the Renaissance theater in England and Spain do not
provide evidence of Spanish actresses in England. Neither Cotarelo y Mori's
work nor the list in DICAT provide any information regarding this topic,
that I can find. I would love any suggestions or pointers! Thank you!

Saludos,
Lizz
