“What I find interesting is how close you can run the laughter along the seam of seriousness, and occasionally cross it, so that half the house genuinely doesn't know whether to laugh or cry. Custard pie humour is fairly universal, but at the other end, which I'm more interested in, there's the humour that hovers on the darkness, that walks in the shadow of something else, not always that obvious.” KnowsEndsRunningHouseWalksInterestingHalfDarknessLaughingCryHumourLaughterShadowCrossesUniversalObviousCraftsPieSeriousnessCustard Author:Alan Ayckbourn
