Synopsis

This book isnt a critical examination of high comedy. Rather, its a collection of suggestions for the middlemen: the actors who have to catch the comic spark from the playwright and pass it on to the audience. The effort involved must be imperceptible: one has to acquire the cleverness, the articulacy, the febrility of the characters – and then make the whole laborious exercise seem like swimming through silk...The characters in high comedies dont find verbal sophistication difficult or unfamiliar; they enjoy it as you might enjoy slang.
