Pleasing the (Renaissance) AudienceBy Dingbat McDougalFor any student of the Commedia dellrsquo;Arte; even if you donrsquo;t buy this book; order it for your library; and get to read it that way. It combines a first rate understanding of the nuances of performance within this tricky genre; with excellent deductive scholarship. The first publication of Flaminio Scalarsquo;s scenarios by Henry Salerno; in the words of Louise Clubb; was a theatrical event of the first order but sadly contained a small amount of significant mistranslations. Richard Andrewrsquo;s subsequent edition of the scenarios resolved this. Crohn Schmittrsquo;s edition; though not containing as many individual scenarios; is highly significant in that she invests half the book in; in her own words; ldquo; in making friends with Flaminio Scalardquo;; and makes a very strong case for specifically identifying the underlying morality and implicit cultural values present within the wider collection of scenarios. She clearly argues for; supported by extended and enjoyable quotations from such things as Venetian pamphlets on the ldquo;servant problemrdquo;; an interpretation of the scenarios that reflects precisely the morals and values of the patriarchal; honour-based social grouping that composed the theatre going class. Scala; she notes; was creating theatrical events for a clearly identified audience; and the cultural values within his scenarios pandered to them; as well as their human hopes and fears; with a gleeful and energetic panache.Despite many worthy recreations of Scalarsquo;s scenarios; both professionally and within drama conservatoires; she makes the point that; before one re-interprets this group of scenarios as performances; one must understand that these scenarios are cultural artifacts from a very precise time in history. It is Crohn Schmittrsquo;s contribution to scholarship that she explains this in an accessible and clearly argued prose style. She helps us understand how very different Flaminio Scalarsquo;s world is from our own. This is no mean feat of scholarship; and armed with these insights; they can now be applied both in performance and in understanding the phenomena of the Commedia dellrsquo;Arte scenario.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Great Guide For Commedia TroupesBy John A CrossMy troupe; i Sebastiani; has been focused on recreating Sixteenth Century style Commedia dellArte for the last twenty-something years; and I wish this book had been available when we started. It is almost like it was written for us; from the point of view we care about. Scalas scenarios do not always make sense on the first read; but knowing more about the culture from that period of marriage; honor; and related topics helps a lot. Prof. Schmitts analysis of these four plays; including suggestions for gags; lazzi; and unifying humor are excellent; and from her examples; it is not hard.to do the same for the other 36 of his comic scenarios (you are still on your own for the pastorals). I am recommending this book to every one I work with. Reading it is time well spent. Buy it for the wisdom; keep it for the footnotes.
