With the aim of providing a comprehensive history of Italian drama
from its origins to the time of its publication in 2006, this book
treats theatre in its widest sense, discussing the impact of all
the elements and figures integral to the collaborative process of
theatre-making. The impact of designers, actors, directors and
impresarios as well as of playwrights is subjected to critical
scrutiny, while individual chapters examine the changes in
technology and shifts in the cultural climate which have influenced
theatre. No other approach would be acceptable for Italian theatre,
where from the days of commedia dell'arte, the central figure has
often been the actor rather than the playwright. The important
writers, such as Carlo Goldoni and Luigi Pirandello, receive
detailed critical treatment, as do the 'great actors' of
nineteenth-century theatre or the directors of our own time, but
the focus is always on the bigger picture.
