Commedia dell'Arte - masks wanted
Tue, 4 Mar 2008, 04:34 pmI am looking to purchase some Commedia dell'Arte masks, If anyone knows of a great costuming/masks stores or has any masks that they are looking at selling, i'd be interested in hearing from you.
Also, does anyone know of any upcoming Commedia performances/auditions? I'd love to check them out.
Thanks :)

Yes we are doing The Venetian Twins at The Old Mill but it is not traditional Commedia. It is not masked, it is not improvised and is was known as the either the first scripted Commedia play or the play that killed off Commedia! The characters are from Commedia, the plot is Commedia but it is not traditional Commedia. On top of that, this is a modern treatment of it. I am using an English 1993 translation by Ranjit Bolt done for the RSC. The language is very modern.
But as Norma says, check out the auditions page.
