Skios
by Michael Frayn. “It's not easy to write a good farce. Too often it becomes too silly, too coincidental, too over the top unbelievable and the spell is broken. For me, Skios achieves just the right balance of mistaken identity, accidental bedmates, chance meetings and "what are you doing here?" moments to make for a really funny, engaging farce. I wouldn't even want to try to recap the plot - it would be like unfolding an origami crane - just let yourself enjoy the twisted shape that has emerged.”
