Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Liar: A Comedy in Three Acts Unless you know something about the European theatre Of the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries you will not know that the Italian actors practically made it. Some poets and architects lent it a generous hand, dowered it with a superb setting: but the heart, the fire, and the voice Of the European theatre from I 550 to 1780 were given to it by the actors. By 1564 they had swept all over Europe, these magicians; and so tre mendons was their force, so countless were their numbers, they were able to wander far afield and yet leave at home many thousands of their kind to enchant the princes and the people in Siena and in Rome, in Florence, in Perugia, in Naples, Pisa, and Verona.
