Fawlty Towers

is a farce certainly, but not a bedroom farce.--RichardVeryard 09:47, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The episodes "The Wedding Party" (Fawlty Towers) and "The Psychiatrist" (Fawlty Towers) are bedroom farces. --DB1729 (talk) 06:19, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Slamming doors

Someone care to explain what this means? Literally slamming doors?Cls14 (talk) 16:05, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would assume so. It's about characters going in and out of the set quickly with just the right timing to create humour. ZayZayEM (talk) 03:01, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am fairly certain "slamming doors" as used in this case is used as an allusion to a situation in which a couple (who are romantically/sexually involved) has an argument, which leads to one of them storming out of the room and slamming the door in anger. (Please confirm or refute my opinion). In any case, this phrase is ambiguous, and should probably be changed to something more explicit. IDWChen (talk) 02:20, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A major plot device in farces involves characters running through the set into other rooms, the joke is accented by the door slam.

Think about a classic chase sequence going in and out of doors, this originates with farce. A husband catching his wife and lover and chasing them. 2603:7000:A703:C99C:5566:13D5:37F0:6F99 (talk) 01:21, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Theatre of the Absurd

George Feydeau is not considered a forerunner to the theatre of the absurd by anyone. Theatre of the absurd is a post WW2 existentialist highly avant garde style of theatre. The epitome of which is Beckett’s Waiting for Godot. George Feydeau wrote bedroom farces about absurd situations, but it cannot be categorized as Theatre of the Absurd. 2603:7000:A703:C99C:5566:13D5:37F0:6F99 (talk) 01:25, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
