Farce is a much-maligned form. It's easy to do badly, and therefore, audiences may have a negative feeling about it.

My parents were always involved in community theatre, and I'd do the tech work and play the child.

Many people mistakenly think of farce as broad low comedy. In fact, it's polished high comedy.

What people don't understand about Sarah Palin is that she is a rancher's wife. From Alberta down to Texas I've known women like that: good common sense, bright and vilified by city people.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.
