- Summary:
- The Italian actor, comedian, painter, and playwright Dario Fo is celebrated throughout Europe as a major figure in twentieth-century theater. Yet the genius of this recipient of the 1997 Nobel Prize in Literature has never been manifested in a significant publication -- until now.
- Ron Jenkins's biographical profile of Fo traces his unusual visual method of writing plays. These remarkable drawings, complemented by photographs that demonstrate Fo's unique physicality and elasticity, constitute the principal visual elements of the book. Artful Laughter also includes excerpts from many of Fo's plays, as well as a text written expressly for this project.
