{"product_id":"style-maria-aitken-9781557832146","title":"Style: Acting in High Comedy","description":"This book isn't a critical examination of high comedy. Rather, it's 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 don't find verbal sophistication difficult or unfamiliar; they enjoy it as you might enjoy slang.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maria Aitken\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1557832145\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781557832146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Applause Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.29w x 0.40d","brand":"Maria Aitken","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980090638591,"sku":"9781557832146","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d862beec-994d-4007-b118-11e4a5f9eb5f.jpg?v=1683248334","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/style-maria-aitken-9781557832146","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
