| | SCRIPT PREVIEW | | | | | Synopsis | | The greatest, most theatrical style of Western comedy, Commedia dell'arte, comes to hilarious life in the farce of Arlecchino being tricked into supposing that he's personally given birth to a son. Almost all the classic characters of commedia farce are here, playing their traditional roles in a wild, bawdy farce-comedy of all-around trickery; but it's a comedy that ends with a touching scene of Arlecchino's delight in sharing both motherhood and fatherhood with his offspring. Here they are—the famous commedia characters—each one bent on fooling everybody else, and all—almost all—getting rewarded for their low cunning. They're low, but they're brilliant schemers, and funny, and thoroughly entertaining. | | | Details: | | ISBN: 978-1-60003-198-4 |
