Benito Mussolini has persistently been described as an 'actor' -
and also as a master of illusions. In her vividly narrated account
of the Italian dictator's relationship with the theatre, Patricia
Gaborik discards any metaphorical notions of Il Duce as a performer
and instead tells the story of his life as literal spectator,
critic, impresario, dramatist and censor of the stage. Discussing
the ways in which the autarch's personal tastes and convictions
shaped, in fascist Italy, theatrical programming, she explores
Mussolini's most significant dramatic influences, his association
with important figures such as Luigi Pirandello, Gabriele
D'Annunzio and George Bernard Shaw, his oversight of stage
censorship, and his forays into playwriting. By focusing on its
subject's manoeuvres in the theatre, and manipulation of theatrical
ideas, this consistently illuminating book transforms our
understandings of fascism as a whole. It will have strong appeal to
readers in both theatre studies and modern Italian history.
