Sainetes were developed in the 18th century by playwrights such as Ramón de la Cruz, and were largely based on satirical observations of ordinary people's lives and reflected this in the language they were written in. They were still being written by authors such as Carlos Arniches well into the 20th century.See:ver nota culturelle ENTREMÉS in entremés* * *masculino comic o comedy sketch, one-act farce* * *masculino comic o comedy sketch, one-act farce* * *comic o comedy sketch, one-act farceaquel coloquio parecía un sainete that conversation was like something out of a comedy sketchla entrevista fue un sainete the interview was a complete farce* * *

ENTREMÉS An entremés is a short farce used as an entertaining interval between the first and second acts of a comedia. It is thought that the entremés (derived from the Italian intermezzo) was first performed on the Spanish stage in the 16th century and derives from the influential Italian Commedia dell'Arte. Often using slapstick, stock characters and situations, entremeses had enormous audience appeal and were written by such distinguished writers as Miguel de Cervantes.entremés salado — savoury, savory (EEUU)
