bad ideas. Since all of our main ideas were forms of comedy, the choice between a comedy sketch and a dramatic piece was simple. The question was now what type of comedy.

Even though some farce elements are visible in the piece, the work morphed into a parody, similar to what one could see on Saturday Night…

in the low comedy range like farce and travesty, furthermore our memes fall into those two classifications. The “Grumpy Cat” meme is a farce because the author deliberately provoked laughter by highly exaggerating the caricature of Obama. They artificially Obama’s persona by stating that Barack Obama is so atrocious that the only reason “Grumpy Cat” is grumpy is because of our President. The meme about Hannah Montana and President Bush not only falls under the farce region but also falls under…

Death of an Anarchist, Dario Fo, a playwright and left-wing activist, uses comic elements to narrate the story of the suspicious death of a railwayman and anarchist, Giuseppe Pinelli. Although the details of the case have been twisted by Fo, this farce is successful in provoking thought in the minds of the audience. Pinelli’s name is not present in the dialogues, but the prologue states that the play is a reconstruction of the case. As per the police report the anarchist commits suicide by…

company trying to pull off the brilliance of Steve Martin’s Picasso at the Lapin Agile. The show is a farce: a light, humorous play in which the plot depends upon a skillfully exploited situation rather than upon the development of character (Dictionary.com). In this work, Martin uses multiple different types of comedy, such as screwball, highbrow and self-referential comedy, which makes the play a farce. Farcical comedies go hand in hand with screwball comedies; a style of comedic theatre…

trying to say just because he lost one girl his former self will forever be gone. The lovers are so young that when they talk about things like love it is obvious that they are not grown enough to understand and express it. Another example of the farce writing within the play is after Romeo is banished from verona. He speaks of life outside as hellish and unbearable. He has no actual reason that life outside is bad he is once again just exaggerating his emotions. The final example of this that I…

I saw Michael Frayn’s production of Noises Off in Upton Hall (Warren Theater), which on Buffalo State’s Campus on March 4,2016 at 8om. The play was directed by Jennifer Toohey. I did not expect the play to be as funny since I did not understand the book. However, the play was extremely funny and I enjoyed it. I still did not fully understand when they were switching from Noises Off and Nothing On, but the play was amusing. I loved scene 2 because as an audience member I always wonder what is…

histriones of the time were only non-citizens, real citizens could only observe and enjoy. While theatre was still climbing to it’s peak there were two main methods of entertainment, Dramas and Farces (comedical work).
