Courage to Right a Woman's Wrongs: Meet the Servants

In this episode, host Nora Frankovich explores the wild and zany world of the servant characters in Caro's play thinking through the influence of Italian commedia dell'Arte on Spanish comedia. Frankovich is joined by special guest expert Anastasia Wilson. Wilson is a professor at Georgia State University and an educator, actor and devising artist with an advanced foundation in Physical Theatre. Together, Frankovich and Wilson compare and contrast Caro's deployment of servant characters to drive the plot of Courage with their continental commedia cousins. How might reading these characters through a feminist or justice-focused lens add layers of meaning for contemporary audiences of Caro's play? Hosted on Acast.
