An Introduction to Comedy 

Most, if not all, of the plays we will discuss have been reinvented and reinterpreted on stage and on film or the TV. And our approach to Comedy will include and actively encourage the critical reflection of those reinterpretations as they can provide us with further ways of understanding, enjoying and including comedy in our realities.
