Serious Play: Modern Clown Performance by Dr Louise Peacock
Released on the 19.05.2010
Louise Peacock a Professor of Drama at the University of Hull is releasing her first book on the place of clowning in todays theatre and how it has evolved over the past 50 years. As someone who finds the work of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton so enthralling and acknowledging how much the work they created, as well as other early 20th Century clowns, have effected the physical theatre of the 21st Century I believe this book is well overdue. Peacock has spent many years researching her subject in much depth and has had several academic papers printed on the subject so this is truly a passion project. Dr Peacock is also involved in the 'Journal of Comedy Studies' which was launched this year. My prediction is that this book will be one to pick up if clowning is something you add to your own performing style or is something you have always wanted to learn more about.
It is released on Wednesday the 19th of May 2010 and the RRP is £20.50 although if you go to this page, you can get the brand new book for the bargain price of £11.49
