Focusing on Commedia Dell“Arte, this work provides a historical and critical commentary of the Commedia. It highlights common factors between this genre and that of the Japanese Noh theatre. The author proposes six similarities: characters familiar to their audience and masked, minimal properties and scenery with the focus on the actor, the ‚families‘ of performers, a sharp mind as well as an agile body, a professional living on these skills and patronage, and a knowledgeable audience. Complementing this book is the play ‚Please Be Gentle‘ which explores the various tricks and devices of Commedia Dell“Arte acting.
