Escola Velha

Escola Velha

      (Portuguese: “Old School”), Spanish dramatists in the early 16th century who were influenced by the Portuguese dramatist Gil Vicente.

      Although in form Vicente was a medieval dramatist, his skill in comedy and character portrayal and the varied subject matter of his plays made him a forerunner of the modern drama. The best known of the playwrights stimulated by Vicente's innovations were Alfonso Álvares and Baltasar Dias, who wrote popular religious plays; António Ribeiro Chiado and his brother Jerónimo Ribeiro, writers of satirical farces; and António Prestes and Simão Machado, who evinced a knowledge of folklore and the peasant life.
