Kurzbeschreibung
Farce elicits an immediate, elemental response from all age levels, cutting across national and intellectual boundaries. It dates back to people’s first attempts to scoff in public at whatever their neighbors cherished in private: social prestige, eccentricities, virtues that are vices, friendships, and enmities.
Albert Bermel, teacher, writer, and translator of farce, takes readers on an instructive and hilarious voyage from the classical Greek stage through English Restoration and French farce, to the young Hollywood of Mack Sennett, Chaplin, Keaton, and Lloyd, the other silent farceurs of the Jazz Age, and on to W. C. Fields, Mae West, Sid Caesar, Mel Brooks, Woody Allen, and Monty Python—including other greats along the way like Hope and Crosby, Laurel and Hardy, and the Marx Brothers.
Synopsis
Bermel (theater, CUNY) first describes the nature of farce and its relationship to tragedy, comedy, and melodrama. He then traces the history of farce from the Greek and Roman farceurs all the way to such contemporaries as Woody Allen, Mel Brooks, and Monty Python. Marvelously written, in a style both anecdotal and scholarly, humorous and sophistic

Wise as Bentley, unpretentious as Moliere
5. Oktober 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
Quite simply, this is one of the most wonderful books I have ever read. The author is as wise as Eric Bentley and unpretentious as Moliere. I first got this book when I was seventeen years old, and it changed the way I looked at comedy - it introduced me to Chaplin, the Marx Brothers, and Woody Allen. It encouraged me to consider comedy as a profession for myself and I am forever in its debt. It is still a book that I return to and keep finding new things in; I learn more from it as my own experience grows. I think that this is one of those books that nearly anyone could get something out of. I strongly encourage at least taking a look at it. It is very hard to put down again. I do not give my five-star rating very often but this book easily deserves it.

Wide ranging, informative and somehow funny
5. Mai 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
It is not easy to draw a line through a few thousand years of drama and find similarities, but Bermel manages to do so in a way that should satisfy and surprise both general readers and the more academically inclined. Rather than look on the dramatic heritage of a few thousand years, collecting a body of works into a category called 'farce' and then explaining that body of work away, Bermel instead finds farce as a mode of expression, finding it in (hitherto) unlikely places. I found his writing on Joe Orton a wonderful introduction to that playwright's work; but his finding of farcical modes in places such as Beckett's work and the absurdists gives the reader good food for thought, and good things to think with for the next time they go to the theatre, or even rent out a video.
