Synopsis:

This unique exploration of the principles and practice of physical comedy starts with a discussion of the various types of laughter that can be provoked by performance. It then presents graduated sequences of over a hundred games and exercises devised to demonstrate and investigate the whole range of comic possibilities open to a performer. The result is an intensely practical and thoroughly stimulating investigation of how comedy works in physical terms.

About the Author: John Wright is co-founder of Trestle Theatre Company and Told by an Idiot. He is also an inspirational teacher, who has worked with many other theater companies, including Complicite.
