ABSTRACT

What Constitutes a Farce

Elements of yearning and spontaneity, light treatment of facts.

Naivety.

This is not eccentricity.

Lucile (the mob)—she is extraordinarily simple.

Pierre moves from farce to tragedy.

Essentially he is a tragic figure.

Farce is a quality. 2

An actor must believe his despair, rapture, laughter.

No one thinks (except Carrie).

Not a single moment without greed. Blood.
