John Rudlin

amazon.com: "If you're at all interested in Commedia and have not yet read this book, I highly recommend it. It would be beneficial for anyone at any level. Every section is just wonderful and gives out so much "secret" information. There's even an appendix on how to make leather masks in the traditional method. I have searched and not been able to find many other books that touch on that subject. It's an interesting read the whole way through and handy as a reference forever after."
"John Rudlin describes in great detail every aspect of commedia dell'arte. Having personally studied with John Rudlin, he is today's master of the masked world. Indepth character analysis, sample plots, illustrations, pictures of masks, detailed background information, and an overall 'everything you need to know' by the man who knows better than anyone."… (plus d'informations)
