Customer comments on this selection.
 Good overview
One of many books used for a college research paper. For a book that covers a lot of ground had fairly good details.
 A Must-Read for Present-Day Commedia Lovers
Rudlin compacts a ton of useful information, in history of the art, Mask/character analyzation, and current day Commedia practitioners. I've found it a very reliable source for the subject and reccommend it to anyone interested in Commedia dell'Arte, either practically or academically.
the best place to start.....
Obviously commedia dell'arte is a live theatre form, and obviously you know a bit about commedia otherwise you wouldn't be reading this review. As far as any book can help anyone do live theatre, especially a form so comic and forceful, then ths book can. Nowhere it loses sight of the fact that its job is to encourage people to action and performance and then begin to discover for themselves.It is not an esoteric bible of secret facts which will allow anyone to become a commedia performer.It is an actor's manual and, if you cannot find adequate live teaching of the form, it is one of the best books you can find to start with.
 literature for the slow of mind
this book was totaly distasteful, its readers must have been completly moronic to give it such a good review dont buy this book if you can help it.
Wonderful coverage for being so short.
If you're at all interested in Commedia and have not yet read this book, I highly recommend it. It would be beneficial for anyone at any level. Every section is just wonderful and gives out so much "secret" information. There's even an appendix on how to make leather masks in the traditional method. I have searched and not been able to find many other books that touch on that subject. It's an interesting read the whole way through and handy as a reference forever after.
