Shakespeare and Commedia dell'Arte examines the ongoing influence
of commedia dell'arte on Shakespeare's plays. Exploring the
influence of commedia dell'arte improvisation, sight gags, and
wordplay on the development of Shakespeare's plays, Artemis Preeshl
blends historical research with extensive practical experience to
demonstrate how these techniques might be applied when producing
some of Shakespeare's best-known works today. Each chapter focuses
on a specific play, from A Midsummer Night's Dream to The Winter's
Tale, drawing out elements of commedia dell'arte style in the
playscripts and in contemporary performance. Including contemporary
directors' notes and interviews with actors and audience members
alongside Elizabethan reviews, criticism, and commentary,
Shakespeare and Commedia dell'Arte presents an invaluable resource
for scholars and students of Renaissance theatre.
