Many people mistakenly think of farce as broad low comedy. In fact, it's polished high comedy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I always try to keep in mind that while the characters in a farce may find themselves in outrageous dilemmas, and may behave in a way that the audience finds amusing, the characters themselves don't have the consolation of knowing they're in a comedy.
Farce is a much-maligned form. It's easy to do badly, and therefore, audiences may have a negative feeling about it.
I've played farce on the stage, but I have never played any sort of comedy on the screen.
I think the first rule of comedy is that it has to be funny and I find a lot of the broad comedy which is sent to me, painfully unfunny.
It's very difficult to make comedy work; I think it's a very underrated genre.
Comedy is one of the toughest genres. It is so essential to get the timing right, failing which the humour can fall flat.
Comedy tends to come out of things which are quite painful and serious.
I think comedy tells a lot; you can tell what people think by what they laugh at.
A farce, or slapstick humor, does well universally.
Comedy is unusual people in real situations; farce is real people in unusual situations.
