This study explores American playwright John Guare's unnerving and paradoxical theater through an examination of black comedy. It attempts to make Guare's theater more accessible by arguing that Guare's black humor has its roots in the tradition of farce -- broadly satirical dark comedies in which humor is discovered in pain, despair, or horror.Gene A. Plunka is the author of 'The Black Comedy of John Guare' with ISBN 9780874137637 and ISBN 0874137632.
