Summary:	"English translation of a fully scripted dramatic work by the actor, theater manager, and playwright Flaminio Scala, based on his earlier scenario "The Husband," and featuring a lesbian marriage. The first actor/manager to publish commedia scenarios, Scala here translates the spontaneity of commedia dell'arte into a replicable theatrical document"--

Description
Summary:	Scala's The Fake Husband offers readers and performers an accessible English script which captures the comic brilliance of the commedia dell'arte. Expanded from an earlier scenario, Il marito ( The Husband ), the play presents characters originally created by members of the Gelosi troupe, in particular the stars Isabella Andreini and Sylvia Roncagli. Scala's ability to capture the individual artistry of these women makes this script especially exciting and shows his appreciation of the towering contribution made by the female performers who joined the troupes in the 1560s. Also included is a comprehensive study of Scala's place in the theatrical world and beyond.<br> <br> <br> <br> The Other Voice in Early Modern Europe - The Toronto Series, volume 75
