The Fool in European Theatre
Details
Why is folly essential to the functioning of a healthy society? Why is theatre a natural home for madness? The answers take the reader on a journey embracing Shakespeare and Jonson, Brecht and Beckett, Büchner and Boal. From Falstaff to Fo via Figaro, this study examines the art of telling truth to power and surviving long enough to have a laugh.
'Tim Prentki has written an insightful book that chronicles the power of laughter from a remarkable variety of historic and literary perspectives. It is a valuable resource for students and scholars interested in the serious side of clowning.' - Ron Jenkins, Professor of Theater, Wesleyan University, USA
