Mitchell offers a detailed examination of Mistero Buffo. This work, he declares, "and its many offshoots, together with the countless improvised routines and sketches on topical events which Fo frequently makes up on the spot, reveal him as the 'theatrical animal' that he is, and show his unique capacity for turning a one-man show into a piece of epic and total theatre."

Critical Essay by J. L. Wing

There is no time to identify privately with one character or point of view; the spectator is too busy in every given moment, working on the collective creation of the event."]
