A thoughtful exploration of the work of this unique comedian and writer.
Caroline Aherne was one of the most influential and beloved of British comedians. In this book David Scott explores Aherne's comedic artistry and creative legacy, focusing on her iconic characters and ground-breaking TV shows. Scott dives into Aherne's most memorable creations, from the sharp-tongued Mrs Merton to the quietly revolutionary The Royle Family. Drawing on the tales of collaborators and telling behind-the-scenes stories, he provides an intimate glimpse into the creative processes that brought these iconic works to life. At the same time, he examines the social and cultural influences that shaped Aherne's work, from the rich traditions of Northern working-class humour to the experiences of Irish migrants. Aherne's work is celebrated for its sharp wit, warmth and ability to find comedy in adversity. This book offers an exploration and celebration of one of comedy's most inventive minds, revealing how she reshaped the British comedy landscape.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Manchester University PressISBN-13:9781526191922ISBN-10:152619192XUPC:9781526191922Book Category:Biography & Autobiography, Performing Arts, HistoryBook Subcategory:Entertainment & Performing Arts, Television, EuropeBook Topic:Genres, Great BritainSize:8.50 x 5.50 x 0.75 inchesWeight:0.381Product ID:SCMSJQB772
