Laugh

by Beth Henley

“Set in the 1920s and inspired by silent film comedies, right down to a live piano score and title-card style narration, LAUGH – an imperative, not a noun – is a Muppety assemblage of outrageous zut alors! Accents, awful fake beards, pendulous fake boobs, and cream-pie-in-faces… In intention and in effect, it is decidedly and unreservedly silly.”
