Question

What would most likely be the effect of changing George S. Kaufman's The Still Alarm so that the characters reacted in a panic rather than in a calm manner?
A.) The play would be significantly
B.) The characters would be more likeable.
C.)The play would not have a comic tone.
D.)The play would include more dialogue.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C.

The comic tone of the play is solely given by the characters' calm reaction to the the huge fire that is surely to burn down the whole hotel.

If the characters were to react like normal people would -screaming and panicking- the play would lose its whole essense.

Answer 2

Answer:

C.)The play would not have a comic tone.
