![]() ![]() ![]() Andrews points out similarities between the scenarios, borrowings from earlier Italian scripted comedies, analogies with other early modern drama including Shakespeare, and the re-use of these components by later dramatists such as Molière and Goldoni.An extensive introduction sets the parameters for the commentaries, giving a description of commedia dell'arte as a phenomenon, explaining the categories of masked characters, and describing the nature and structure of the genre. Thirty of Scala's 50 scenarios are included, complete with a detailed scene-by-scene analysis that demonstrates the methodology of Italian improvised theatre in the early modern period for the purposes of study as well as re-creation.Taking into consideration previous translations of the work, Richard Andrews's English translation and lengthy analytic commentary of the scenarios provide an overview of the commedia dell'arte style, describing how actors fleshed out scenes by inserting existing material from their repertoire into a plot framework and demonstrating a constant interchange of plot, characterization, and scene structure that moved between scripted and improvised comedy. The Commedia dell'Arte of Flaminio Scala presents a translation and commentary of selected scenarios composed or collected by the actor-manager Flaminio Scala that were first published in 1611. ![]()

Mario testino photo5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() “I am obsessed with people and how to make them look their best,” says the photographer, who turns 57 this month, and feels that “it is like a present from life” that he had six magazine covers across the world for the autumn issues. For that historic occasion, he was not only behind the lens to create an iconic image of a cuddly “Wills and Kate” before the event, but was also highlighted on camera at Westminster Abbey for his fame as a household name. In 30 years of fashion photography, he has captured in images the hectic glamour of beach life in Rio de Janeiro or the disciplined enthusiasm of the Horse Guards for the royal wedding last April. Testino loves crowds, especially caught at a party in what he calls “the freedom of people, the freedom of bodies, the joy, the energy.” “YOU are my A-list,” he told the entire audience. Speaking in his distinctive treacly voice, drawing out the words “amazing” and “incredible,” the photographer looked across the ballroom, decorated like a 1930s Copacabana. LONDON - Mario Testino, a mountain of Champagne glasses behind him and a red rose on his lapel, greeted at an awards ceremony last month the friends he had made since arriving in England from Peru as a fashion-mad teenager in a lilac terrycloth jumpsuit 35 years ago. ![]()

Tuck everlasting book cover5/23/2023 ![]() ![]() It explores the idea of eternal life, and its flip side, mortality. Originally intended for middle grade children, it’s a gracefully written story that has resonated with readers of all ages. Removed from my everyday life, I had a lot of time to read I visited the public library nearly every day, browsing the adult fiction but borrowing favorite children’s stories. ![]() Most of the care-giving duties fell to more experienced family members, but between more demanding weeks filled with appointments and treatments, I moved into the spare bedroom and managed the household shopping and chores. ![]() I returned to it when I was staying with an older relative who was living with a terminal disease. But the timing for me to rediscover this story, about how “dying’s part of the wheel, right there next to being born” was perfect. It was never one of my school texts: when I was a girl, it hadn’t yet achieved its iconic status. When I first reread Tuck, I was in my thirties. What better time to consider Babbitt’s remarkable novel about mortality and immortality, Tuck Everlasting (1975), a story that rewards young and adult readers alike. This Gaelic festival opens the door to the darker part of the year, and it’s also the anniversary of author Natalie Babbitt’s death in 2016. ![]() The last day of October marks Samhain, the end of harvest season and the beginning of winter. ![]() |
