One of the first and most important Italian playwrights to move
away from the commedia dell'arte tradition of improvisation, Carlo
Goldoni (1707-1793) wrote more naturalistic "comedies of character"
that featured the dialect and situations of everyday life in
Venice. Five Comedies collects a selection of Goldoni's finest
plays, annotated and translated into English: The New House, The
Coffee House, and "The Holiday Trilogy" (Off to the Country,
Adventures in the Country, and Back from the Country). Editor
Michael Hackett provides an introduction to Goldoni and his
performance tradition for directors, actors, and designers,
revealing the masterful construction of Goldoni's plays, while an
afterword by Cesare de Michelis carefully reconstructs the
playwright's life and times.
