From Commedia dell'Arte came archetypal characters that are still
with us today, such as Harlequin and Pantalone, and the
rediscovered craft of writing comic dramas and masked theatre. From
it came the forces that helped create and influence Opera, Ballet,
Pantomime, Shakespeare, Moliere, Lopes de Vega, Goldoni, Meyerhold,
and even the glove puppet, Mr Punch. The Routledge Companion to
Commedia dell'Arte is a wide-ranging volume written by over 50
experts that traces the history, characteristics, and development
of this fascinating yet elusive theatre form. In synthesising the
elements of Commedia, this book introduces the history of the
Sartori mask studio; presents a comparison between Gozzi and
Goldoni's complicated and adversarial approaches to theatre;
invites discussions on Commedia's relevance to Shakespeare, and
illuminates re-interpretations of Commedia in modern times. The
authors are drawn from actors, mask-makers, pedagogues, directors,
trainers, and academics, all of whom add unique insights into this
fundamental pillar of western theatre. Notable contributions
include: * Donato Sartori on the twentieth century Sartori mask *
Rob Henke on the Form and Freedom in Commedia Improvisation * Anna
Cottis on Carlo Boso * Didi Hopkins on One Man, Two Guv'nors *
Kenneth Richards on acting companies * Antonio Fava on Commedia
dell'Arte * Joan Schirle on Carlo Mazzone-Clementi and women in
Commedia * M. A. Katritzky on Commedia Iconography.
