The Show Book of Remo Bufano: Seven Plays for Marionettes & People, One for Every Day (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781025983585)

"The Show Book of Remo Bufano" is a vibrant collection of seven plays meticulously designed for performance by both marionettes and human actors. Structured to provide a theatrical engagement for every day of the week, this work showcases the unique creative vision of Remo Bufano, a pioneer in the American puppetry movement. The collection bridges the gap between traditional theater and puppet performance, offering scripts that are both accessible for younger audiences and artistically sophisticated for performers.

Each play within the volume is crafted to spark the imagination, blending folklore, whimsy, and dramatic flair. The collection includes inventive adaptations of classic stories such as "Red Riding Hood," "Cinderella," and "Jack and the Beanstalk," reimagined through Bufano's distinct lens. This volume serves not only as a practical guide for staging theatrical productions but also as a significant historical testament to the enduring appeal of the marionette arts in early 20th-century American literature. The Show Book of Remo Bufano remains an essential resource for puppeteers, educators, and historians of the performing arts seeking to understand the evolution of puppet theater as a serious dramatic medium.
