Sommario/riassunto

In a grand tour of comic theatre over the centuries, Erich Segal traces the evolution of the classical form from its early origins in a misogynistic quip by the 6th-century BC Susarion, through countless weddings and happy endings, to the exasperated monosyllables of Samuel Beckett.
