- Summary:
- Laurence Senelick, Fletcher Professor of Drama and Oratory at Tufts University, introduces farce - a form of comedy usually associated with physical action, exaggerated performance and crude language. Senelick explores the evolution of farce in the West from its origins in carnival to its influence on 19th-century vaudeville, and considers how it can be viewed as a revenge of instincts and impulses over ethical precepts.
