5.0 out of 5 stars Basics+, November 28, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Italian Comedy (Paperback)
If one is interested in the Commedia Dell Arte, buy this book. It includes a history, a disscussion of performance method, and a chapter for each of the basic stock characters and their family. Ducharte includes a collection of engravings detailing commedia work. A must. The only thing it lacks is a detailed description of traditional Lazzi.
