Sobre este audiolivro
Pull back the velvet curtain to reveal the absurd, rigid conventions and laughable archetypes that dominate the theatrical melodrama of the era. With biting sarcasm, this satirical guide categorizes the impossibly virtuous heroes, the sneering villains, and the hopelessly naive heroines that populate the stage. It hilariously points out the glaring logical flaws and repetitive plot devices that audiences willingly swallow for the sake of entertainment. It is an affectionate yet ruthless dismantling of theatrical clichés that remains surprisingly relevant.
