Description
Donald Keene combines informative works on two forms of classical Japanese theatre into a single volume. The Nō text looks at all aspects of this traditional theatre form, including its history, its stage and props, the use of music and dance in its performances, the plays as literature, and the aesthetics of Nō.
Also discussed are Kyōgen, the comic farces that are typically interspersed with the solemn Nō dramas.
