Congratulations to CRRS Fellow Rosalind Kerr on the the publication of her edited translation of Flaminio Scala’s The Fake Husband: A Comedy (The Other Voice in Early Modern Europe, 2020)! The Centre for Drama, Theatre & Performance Studies at the University of Toronto will host a formal book launch once university events are rescheduled.
About The Fake Husband
A famous full-length commedia play featuring a lesbian marriage and all sorts of other transvestite stage tricks, this up-to-date colloquial English version should appeal to theatre scholars, actors, directors, etc. who believe that acting techniques developed in the past don’t have to stay in the museum. Covering the arc of the commedia dell’arte as it adapts its improvisational magic to scripted texts, it’s funny and satirical. For more information or to purchase the volume, please click here.
Rosalind Kerr is a Professor Emeritus in Drama at the University of Alberta and a fellow at the Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies.
