4.0 out of 5 stars Not so Funny, 7 Jun 2007
By Helen Arden - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have been discussing this text with students for many years, during which time comedy has changed from stereotyping to alternative to pc and still there is something relevant. It is about comedy, initially, but it is also about moral values - trust and loyalty and, as you would expect from Griffiths, it is a political play. Operating over real time we familiarise ourselves with a diversity of desperate characters during act one as they warm up for their comedic performances in act two. Our expectations of loyalty and betrayal are partially confounded during act two so Griffiths keeps our interest high, especially by leaving Price's startling act until the end. He belongs to no one and indeed student and teacher roles are reversed as he points out Waters' own betrayal by forgetting his working class roots. It is a powerful drama, even today and reminds us that the truth whether in comedy, politics or our own personal ideology is the best weapon we have to improve society.
