Funny, radical and entertaining

Won't bother with a typical review, the profs have said it all already. There's really only one important thing to point out -- that this play is still funny, still disturbing, still radical, and still entertaining. The plot twist at the end, which resolves the major conflict, is rather unsettling and leaves a bad taste in your mouth. But it's also so weirdly coincidental that, somehow, you accept it as a comic device. In fact, Joe Orton's "What the Butler Saw" has a very similar resolution, which suggests that Terence's plays are still highly influential.

Maybe if Terence were alive today he would be writing scripts like Pedro Almodovar. These two men, separated by 2000 years, have created the same outrageous, violent and sexual stories. I love "The Mother-in-Law" and it's certainly my favourite of Terence's works, though his collected plays are all worth reading.
