Description

Dario Fo Stage, Text and Tradition brings together an international collection of essays that re-evaluate the performance art of Nobel laureate Dario Fo. Written by leading scholars from three continents, these essays provide a fresh perspective on Fo's work, moving beyond earlier Marxist criticism to establish a framework for debate. The contributors examine every aspect of Fo's career as actor, playwright, performer and songwriter, while also providing historical context and in-depth analysis of specific works. A discussion of original artwork by Fo is also included, including vignettes from his Nobel Prize acceptance speech. This collection sheds new light on the core of Fo's work, identifying material that will be of lasting value. By locating Fo within history and examining successive phases of development, this book sets his theatrical achievements in a wider framework of radical dissent. A valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike, Dario Fo Stage, Text and Tradition offers a nuanced understanding of one of the most important figures in contemporary theatre.
