Four Comedies - Kenneth P Langer - Bog

Comedy is how we cope with the absurdity of life. The person who cannot step back and see how ludicrous are most of the things we encounter in life is the person who gets mired and engulfed in them. Comedy lets us step back and see the whole picture. It reminds us of what is really important which certainly includes laughing and laughing often.

These four comedies each take on several situations but exaggerate them until they become enlarged and laughable. To each are added an unusual use of standard theatrical tradition. A writer of one play becomes involved with his own characters. Another play actually moves backward in time. One comedy is actually two separate plays that come together while another claims to be a musical but has no singing whatsoever.

Come along for the fun and laughter and lighten your burdens for a while.
