A feast of history, myth, and humor... Should be of great interest to actors, medieval scholars, and serious students of comedy.

This book is an introduction to the kyōgen genre and includes translations of eight plays about the mountain priest character, as well as the history of the acting tradition and an analysis of kyōgen in performance.
