Commedia Dell'Arte: An Actor's Handbook

Purchased used. Description did not mention highlighting and notes in the margin - of which there is a SIGNIFICANT amount.

As someone who teaches movement for actor training, I highly recommend this book for your reading list and for required reading for any Commedia work. Terrific resource!

My brother is happy with the book

Purtroppo per studiare qualcosa sulla Commedia dell'Arte occorre comprare un libro in inglese! Ottimo scritto bene e facile da capire. Lo consiglio a chiunque voglia approfondire le radici del nostro teatro.

If you require further instruction on the art of Commedia dell'Arte this is for you. Explanations of a highly regimented stage craft , this book examines and explains the roles, character and dress of all the principle actors. Buy it. Read it. Be drawn into a strange and wonderful world.
