Analysing why we laugh and what we laugh at, and describing how
performers can elicit this response from their audience, this book
enables actors to create memorable - and hilarious - performances.
Rooted in performance and performance criticism, Sidney Homan and
Brian Rhinehart provide a detailed explanation of how comedy works,
along with advice on how to communicate comedy from the point of
view of both the performer and the audience. Combining theory and
performance, the authors analyse a variety of plays, both modern
and classic. Playwrights featured include Harold Pinter, Tom
Stoppard, Christopher Durang, and Michael Frayn. Acting in
Shakespeare's comedies is also covered in depth.
