#the original jester/arllechino was devil themed. so maybe a kitsune version isn't that far off the mark...

So sometimes I do historical research for things just for fun..
Extremely rough concepts of Edo era commedia del'arte ideas I've had pickling in my head for a while.
I listened to Moliere play recordings for the first time this past year and while listening to Tartuffe and The Misanthrope and only thought of how much I wanted an edo adaptation.
Anyway while I know some western art history I don't know a lot of theater history (either Japanese or Italian). So this was just me guessing. Pantalone and Dotore could be gender blind roles. I have no idea how I would approach the servant characters though. Maybe Arlecchino can be kitsune themed??
Anyway just putting this here so I don't loose my thoughts.
