«El Caballero de Olmedo» is the play by Lope de Vega, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
The play is inspired by a popular song from the 17th century and tells the story of the knight don Alonso, known as the pride of Medina and the flower of Olmedo. Audiences of the time already knew his tragic end: dying at night at the hands of a jealous rival. The piece combines the refined and the popular, with music, songs and great anticipation to see how the protagonist's foretold fate unfolds.
