The Black Comedy of John Guare

No Customer Reviews

This study explores American playwright John Guare's unnerving and paradoxical theater through an examination of black comedy. It attempts to make Guare's theater more accessible by arguing that Guare's black humor has its roots in the tradition of farce- broadly satirical dark comedies in which humor is discovered in pain, despair, or horror.
