Confusion. Panic. Normal life upset. The most dreaded event most decidedly happening. The most unwanted visitor most unexpectedly arriving. Identities mistaken. Affaires discovered. Lovers concealed. A nightmare. As they fight to preserve honour and struggle to maintain appearances the characters do not even smile. We're free to laugh. It's farce to us.
