The Tricks of the Trade
Dario Fo Price: $27.95
A handbook of the range of skills that Fo has acquired
in the course of his professional life and a record of his
own experiences as conveyed through a series of performance
seminars that he and his wife Franca Rame, the celebrated
actress and feminist, conducted around the world on
the subject of acting
In places as diverse as London’s Riverside Studios and Perugia’s Free Universtiy of Alcatraz, Fo and Rame have revealed to rapt audiences the many facets of the actor’s art, his and her Tricks of the Trade
Tracing the life of the comic performer back to the itinerant jongleur and the skilful improvisations of later commedia dell’arte troupes, here are his thoughts and second thoughts on all topics theatrical and a kind of unsystematic manifesto for the style of theatre he admires and which he has attempted to write and stage
“An angular, uncomfortable, disquieting and inspirational account of an art in which there are no more universal performers and recorders than Dario Fo and Franca Rame” - Independent
