Estudio 1 was a long-running Spanish television anthology series by Televisión Española presenting many classic plays for the home audience since 1965. It was equivalent to Au théâtre ce soir [fr] (1966–1985) on TF1 and Play of the Month (1965–1983) on the BBC.[1] The series was noted for its productions of the great Spanish Golden Age playwrights as well as Shakespeare[2] and Schiller.[3]
