“Comedy of Intrigue” is a theatrical genre that focuses on a complex story with twists, turns, and comedic misunderstandings. It features characters who attempt to solve problems, often with plans that become increasingly complicated as the story unfolds. The events of the intrigue can include misunderstandings, mistaken identities, dramatic revelations, and unexpected plot twists. While “Situation Comedy” relies primarily on dramatic irony (the audience knows more than most of the characters), comedy of intrigue thrives on suspenseful anticipation (the audience knows less than most of the characters), creating a sense of delightful anticipation.
