Merchant of Blows-with-a-Stick
and Other Plays by Louis Duranty
Translated by Sean Keohane
Illustrations by Judd Palmer
In
1861,
novelist and art critic Louis Emile Edmond Duranty, a proponent of
Realism, opened a delightfully surreal literary children's
puppet
theatre in Paris' Tuileries Garden. Here, for the first time
side-by-side in both French and English, are five of Duranty's wildly
comic one act plays, newly translated by puppeteer and playwright Sean Keohane, who performs them throughout the US; and
illustrated with
original art by puppeteer Judd Palmer.
