We play theater, and theatre is supposed to somehow touch the audience, and that's usually done by creating recognizable situations. Audiences naturally laugh when they recognize things they do, or things they know others do. Hence keeping things truthful is pretty powerful. Absurdity is usually cheap and not very interesting (very few of us are Ionesco's after all). | ||
