Itinerant medical 'quacks' and troupes of actors were both integral parts of everyday life, each drawing upon theatricality to attract customers and promote their services. In this study, the writings of three renowned physicians - the Swiss Platter brothers and their Austrian colleague Guarinonius - are used to explore the often neglected interfaces between healing and performance. Their descriptions of German, French and Italian travelling players are examined in detail, with particular emphasis on the reaction of these 'respectable' physicians to the depiction and use of medical issues.
