Can You Make Murder Funny In A Theatrical Play? Should You Even Cross That Line?
Ep. 09 Host Lee Mueller learned of someone objecting to a theatre group doing one of his "Murder Mystery Comedy Plays" and had to consider their viewpoint for a moment. Murder is not a subject that should be funny, not at all, but writers have been getting away with the subject for a long time. How do they do it? How can you spin a topic such as "death" in such a way that an audience will not be depressed by it but instead laugh and have fun? Is it possible? Well, it must be. Let's lift the hood on this topic and take a look inside.
A collection of Lee's plays can be found on Amazon
