Giorgio Strehler Directs Carlo Goldoni

Giorgio Strehler Directs Carlo Goldoni uses Giorgio Strehler�s Goldoni productions (and Arlecchino servitore di due padroni in particular) as a means to defining his directorial aesthetic. The book provides a framework for examining the director�s career that is expansive rather than restrictive, using Goldoni and Arlecchino servitore di due padroni as a through-line for Strehler�s fifty-year career at the Piccolo Teatro di Milano. This research defines Strehler�s multifaceted style and brings to light interrelationships among his various works, creating a base from which a variety of subsequent critical inquiries can be made. It also establishes Strehler�s identity within the larger scope of the Italian theatre as a whole. Finally, it creates the critical challenge of finding more expansive notions of directorial style and concept that unite diverse ideologies without delimiting our understanding of the director. Crucial to understanding Strehler�s work with Arlecchino servitore di due padroni is his consistent reinterpretation of the play, which received no less than five distinct productions during Strehler�s lengthy career. His repeated reworking of existing productions provides a baseline for examining what elements were maintained and what elements changed or evolved. The four key influences that defined Strehler�s aesthetic in his work with Arlecchino were commedia dell�Arte, Bertolt Brecht, �refractive theatricality� and Jacques Copeau.
