Ain’t it the Truth!

September 21st, 2010

Husbands, bless them, sometimes need to hear from a stranger what their wives have already told them to believe what they’ve heard. It’s nothing personal, just a universal truth. I shared this truth with a friend over email, and through her email response I could hear her laughing in agreement, having seen it for herself.

It’s in that universal truth that comedy is born. Something strikes us as funny when we know it to be true.

Writing comedy for theatre is such a challenge for this very reason… but it’s also so satisfying for the creators and the audience. As people, we want to see ourselves and be able to laugh from time to time. Writing a comedy will be a challenge to be sure, but definitely one I’d like to undertake in the future.
