It took me a moment to get into it, not sure if that's you or, me, but: Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! More, please.

thanks for taking a look :)
re taking a moment to get into it, well, it could be the play itself - as apart from a little hint up front - it starts and unrolls as a fairly traditional kind of slightly manic absurd comedy-farce..
It only 'goes off the rails' and into drama territory, quite a bit further on - once the audience has 'accepted' the reality of the play that they're seeing...
Its deliberately setting up false expectations, and reinforcing it with all the chatty dialog and jokes, so that the audience relaxes into this seemingly 'funny' unfolding story set in a Theatre Arts faculty - only to find out, in a while, when the 'characters' themselves interrupt this play, that the actual reality and the real 'play' is something quite grim and sad and utterly unfunny..
What can I say, I was feeling in an 'experimental' frame of mind.. thought a play thats like a Japanese puzzle box, where the audience keep having their preconceptions messed with, could be fun..
