A comedy is very difficult to pull off, no matter who is performing it. The technical definition of a comedy is that it has a happy ending, usually with marriages, although there is still a lot of humor. Unfortunately, most of the humor is bawdy, and all of the humor is relatively difficult for an audience not familiar with the play to enjoy. Macbeth , although dark and moody, has action. Lots of it.
Action backs up everything said on stage.
Of all the plays, it is the most straightforward and easy to understand. It has no subplots, and the plot moves forward at a rapid pace. The audience is intrigued in the first act when we learn Macbeth is ever so slightly considering doing something devious to become king. I'd like to discuss the technical merits of the play. First, length and number of characters.
