A collection of summaries of the approximately 240 plays which make up the repertories of the five schools of Noh, this book is intended primarily for those who are able to see Noh plays but who, either through language difficulties or lack of background, are unable to appreciate them in the same way as Japanese audience members. The development of the action falls into place with these story outlines and it becomes possible to better appreciate the elements of song and dance. A brief introduction to Noh, a listing of Noh theatres, and a short bibiliography are included.

A Guide to Kyogen

フィリップス大学出身で野村万作師に師事する著者、ダン・ケニー氏が、初めて狂言を見る外国人に向け、和泉流・大蔵流で演じられる狂言257番全曲を、各曲毎に解説。各所に舞台図も挿入し、わかりやすく工夫された1冊。

A collection of synopses of the 257 plays in the repertories of the Izumi and Okura Schools, the two Kyogen traditions in existance at the present time, this is a basic guide to the comedy vignette form which developed in conjunction with the Noh drama. An understanding of the characters and the course of the development of the action enhances the enjoyment of this form which includes slapstick, clever repartee, and farce as it holds up a mirror to the foibles of humanity.
