Out now! Issue 11

Issue 11 is live and viewable as a flip book! This season’s issue is so vast (66 pages!) it was too big to email as an attachment, so we have created it as a flip book. You can still view and download the issue as a pdf, here on this site 👉🏿

At the same location, you can view the full archive copy of the glorious Album-Ricordo del Duttoùr Balanzòn featured in this season’s ‘Zine. We hope to soon be setting up an archive page on this website where artefacts of commedia can be stored and made publicly accessible.

Other features this season include:

• A splendid article from renowned actor, writer, director Simon Callow

• Playwright Mark Ravenhill ventures into Commedia

• An article on Arturo Brachetti, quick-change artist extraordinaire

• An extended Book Review from Olly Crick: Border Crossing and Comedy at the Théâtre Italian, 1716-1723

The many faces of Leopold Fregoli, the world’s greatest quick-change artist of the 19th-20th centuries. Quick-change and its links to Commedia are just one of the features examined in Issue 11 of Commedia Zannizine.

We hope you enjoy this issue!
