Review
`This new book by John Rudlin is much more than a re-examination of a theatrical style long past - in Rudlins hands, the whole subject becomes not only vital to todays creators of theatre, but to the future as well. - Theatre Scotland

Book Description
An entertaining and highly illuminating account of Commedia's origins as a popular theatrical form, plus a practical and timely step-by-step guide to using commedia techniques in performance.
