Description |
Catharsis is a terrific name for a comedy, especially a comedy that through catharsis becomes a tragedy...the lives of four newlyweds cross in series of classical sitcom gags in a hotel on the night of their honeymoons. Crossed wires, Panadol, and love-making woes are interrupted by a puppeteer who turns out to be Jack, the playwright, a somewhat neurotic and overbearing man who regularly stops the play to talk to his psychi-artist about the improbability of the characters and the impossibility of the plot. |
