Farce

Farce is a comedic theatrical genre characterized by exaggerated, improbable situations, physical humor, and absurdity. It often features mistaken identities, misunderstandings, and over-the-top characters. The humor relies on rapid pacing, slapstick, and outlandish scenarios that challenge reality. Farce aims to entertain and elicit laughter by pushing boundaries of what is believable, creating a vibrant, chaotic atmosphere where the audience can enjoy the sheer silliness of the plot and characters. Classic examples include plays like "Noises Off" and "The Importance of Being Earnest."
