(Applause Books). This book isn't a critical examination of high
comedy. Rather, it's a collection of suggestions for the middlemen:
the actors who have to catch the comic spark from the playwright
and pass it on to the audience. The effort involved must be
imperceptible: one has to acquire the cleverness, the articulacy,
the febrility of the characters and then make the whole laborious
exercise seem like swimming through silk...The characters in high
comedies don't find verbal sophistication difficult or unfamiliar;
they enjoy it as you might enjoy slang.
