Though they are very different styles, I have seen a few writeups of comparisons.
That sounds sound advice sir, I'll be sure to look into the actors I come across on my reading...

I am also researching noh and kyogen as well, but I'm choosing to leave out (unless I find a suitable overlap) bunranku as the performance is delivered by puppets which isn't what I'm after.
