La Commedia Inglese: English Plays of the Commedia dell'Arte

La Commedia Inglese: English Plays of the Commedia dell'Arte

Scriblerus
3/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
The Commedia dell'Arte is best known through the works of authors like Goldoni, Scala, Molière, and other European writers. However, it has had substantial influence over English-language theater as well. This volume contains four plays of the genre, spanning from the 18th through 21st centuries. Included works cover a variety of subjects, such as "Harlequin Premier", a predecessor of the Marx Brothers' "Duck Soup" in which The Doctor seeks to alter the diet of the country of Barataria to consist of nothing but macaroni; the 20th century play "Matinata" in which the classic scenario of Harlequin's efforts to woo Columbine is played, and a recent play with an old setting, "Combat of the Masks" in which 16th century Genoa provides a story of love, alchemy and trickery where the Muses duke it out on stage. Fans of the commedia and the English stage alike are sure to benefit from this collection. Includes: Harlequin Premier Scaramouch in Naxos Matinata The Combat of the Masks
