Comedy is easy
It was a play based on Oedipus Rex, and it ended up all bawdy and full of innuendos. Back then I was way less assertive and too lazy to actually write something myself, but time and time again I’ve seen this attitude pop up online, and even in mainstream media. I don’t like it.
You can find my latest comics over at Patreon and Ko-fi, weeks (months now!) before they are published here and on social media. Thank you for supporting my work!
If the script sucks throw in some gratuitous nudity, that always works.
Of course, you can always say “you can’t fire me, I quit”, when working on something creative – instead of waiting for people to point ot the flaws in your story, point them out yourself and try to pass it off as comedy.
I wouldn’t say that adapting a non-comedic play as a comedy is a bad idea in itself, there surely is a lot of potential in that, but maybe doing that with Oedipus Rex with only a high school education experience was indeed a very lofty endeavor
