Hello Dominic, I’ve always been attached to “The Importance of Being Earnest, a Trivial Comedy for Serious People”.
Good old Oscar Wilde. Perhaps it reflects that I once took myself too seriously.
The best bit of the play is the character ‘Algernon’ … always loved that name …you’ll probably find a neighbouring cat by that name if and when you move to the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea on your gold profits!
The question seems to be how does the “one truly significant philosophical question” get “rephrased” by wo/man & then acted out in contravention to Camus’s conclusion?
Kill the currencies, kill the cultures, Kill Bill, Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! Just kill everything … & get it over with?
Death wish is strong … many too many want to push the Charlie Bronson obliteration-button.
May the farce be with you? Well, that’s the “free money” trade, isn’t it?
Instead alas too many play with the house money, the House MD money: “Everybody lies.”
And “Friends” is a ploy to steal your socks. And prescribe wallop doses of cat-amine to take into the hot tub with you.
Suicide’s the pact, alright. Just call it something else, is all.
The perfect thing to eat your breakfast to. My goodness your voice is smooth and relaxing. Informative and useful as always.
Thank you! What a very nice thing to say

Noises Off by Michael Frayn is very good but my favourite farce is Joe Orton's What the Butler Saw.
Serious here as Bill Bowerman, but remember him as Oddball?
