Summary/Abstract: The study concentrates on the various manifestations of the forms of the play within the play, a recurrent form in Spanish drama from the Golden Age to the 21st century. Works are examined in whose structures the author has inserted fictitious theatrical performances, and the relationship between dramatic and stage spaces as fictitious scenic spaces are created in the dramatic work. To the same end, the work will analyse in greater detail some more recent plays, along with Lo fingido verdadero and Comedia sin título, assessing the originality of the special models employed by their creators, Lope de Vega and Federico García Lorca, respectively.
