520 1 $a"In this book, Barry Grantham presents eight original plays as a way of exploring Commedia's famous characters, such as Harlequin, Pantaloon, Columbine, and many others. Each of these 'Masks' are seen at different times and in the different styles that evolved during their long history. Each of the eight plays carries its own detailed introduction, and each play is presented both in outline form and in full text, allowing performers to improvise around the theme or to mount a fully-fledged staging." "The second half of the book consists of a unique compilation of Lazzi, the pieces of 'business' that form the basis of Commedia's comic action. These range from the 'Double Takes' and 'The Surprise Embrace' to whole scenes such as 'Cross-dressing', and 'The Unwanted Proposal'." "The book as a whole serves as practical illustration of the development of Commedia over some four hundred years from 1540 to the 1930's. As well as being suitable for performance on stage, the plays can be used as the basis for classroom and workshop study. And the bits of comic business from the Lazzi can be inserted into the written text or explored and improvised in the drama studio."--Jacket.
