Description:
Madison WI: University of Wisconsin Press, 1969. (USA) Presumed 1st edition, No markings, Fine in price-clipped Fine dust jacket, Cloth, 156pp, index, B&W photos plates and line drawings. Longing for Worldly Pleasures (Ssu Fan) is a lyric monologue in which a young Buddhist laments the waning of her youth in the seclusion of the convent. The brief piece involves a complexity of mood which makes it an actor's tour de force, undertaken only by the most highly skilled performers. Fifteen Strings of Cash (Shih Wu Kuan), a much longer play, is a comic murder mystery satirizing bureaucratic ineptitude in the administration of justice. The comic lead role of Lou the Rat is a virtuoso part which illustrates the intricate mimetic art of the traditional comic actor and was the play's main appeal to Chinese audiences. (1.5 JM HOQ 101/1. 1st. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾".

Description:
Madison/Milwaukee/London: University of Wisconsin Press, 1969. Second volume only (of three) collecting and explicating Chinese dramatic forms; here, the two plays are from the lyrical k'un-ch'ü or K'unshan school, which preceded and was nearly completely replaced by the 'Peking' school. In this form, standard melodic themes indicate moods & situations, and the plays are coordinated in movement, gesture, & song, with characters conforming to set archtypes. Longing for Worldly Pleasures is a complex monologue, requiring an actor of extreme skill, portraying the lament of a young but aging Buddhist nun on her life; Fifteen Strings of Cash "is a comic murder mystery satirizing bureaucratic ineptitude in the administration of justice." Includes extensive set & costume notes, stage directions, historic context. Hardcover in jacket, as pictured. Light wear to book, minor bump to base of spine; jacket is slightly off-center, with minor edgewear, light creasing.…
