Clowning and Authorship in Early Modern Theatre
ISBN: 9781108438773 / Angielski / Miękka / 297 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. To early modern audiences, the 'clown' was much more than a minor play character. A celebrity performer, he was a one-man sideshow whose interactive entertainments - face-pulling, farce interludes, jigs, rhyming contests with the crowd - were the main event.

Shakespeare's Double Plays: Dramatic Economy on the Early Modern Stage
ISBN: 9781108405010 / Angielski / Miękka / 301 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Drawing on historical records, dramatic theory, and contemporary performance...
