Book Description
This paper describes the physical and psychological aspects of comedy, with respect to its effects over my process of developing the character of Truffaldino in Carlo Goldoni's A Servant to Two Masters, the performances of which took place in the Nadine McGuire Theatre and Dance Pavilion, at the Constans Theatre, on January 25 - February 3, 2013. This paper will consist of three sections; the first includes a brief overview of the Commedia style and biography of its author, followed with a more in-depth analysis of the Arrlechino character, as well as its numerous transformations and adaptations from the Renaissance to the present day. The second portion will include a detailed analysis of the rehearsal process, and the evolution of my character as time progressed. The paper will conclude with my self-evaluation, as well as an overall review of my creative and acting process. My paper will describe, in detail, the challenge of melding physical and emotional elements of Laban Movement and the Chekov Radiating & Receiving tool in creating a character that was vivacious, animated and comical, yet poignant, vulnerable, and singularly at ease.

Book Description
Fired from his skiffle band, Francis Henshall becomes minder to Roscoe Crabbe, a small time East End hood, now in Brighton to collect £6,000 from his fiancee's dad. But Roscoe is really his sister Rachel posing as her own dead brother, who's been killed by her boyfriend Stanley Stubbers. Holed up at The Cricketers' Arms, the permanently ravenous Francis spots the chance of an extra meal ticket and takes a second job with one Stanley Stubbers, who is hiding from the police and waiting to be re-united with Rachel. To prevent discovery, Francis must keep his two guvnors apart. Simple. Based on Carlo Goldoni's classic Italian comedy The Servant of Two Masters, in this new English version by prize winning playwright Richard Bean, sex, food and money are high on the agenda.

Commedia dell'Arte in Context

Book Description
The commedia dell'arte, the improvised Italian theatre that dominated the European stage from 1550 to 1750, is arguably the most famous theatre tradition to emerge from Europe in the early modern period. Its celebrated masks have come to symbolize theatre itself and have become part of the European cultural imagination. Over the past twenty years a revolution in commedia dell'arte scholarship has taken place, generated mainly by a number of distinguished Italian scholars. Their work, in which they have radically separated out the myth from the history of the phenomenon remains, however, largely untranslated into English (or any other language). The present volume gathers together these Italian and English-speaking scholars to synthesize for the first time this research for both specialist and non-specialist readers. The book is structured around key topics that span both the early modern period and the twentieth-century reinvention of the commedia dell'arte.
