This play is a...?

This play is hard to judge as a certain type of play. It has its ironic parts that could make it seem like a comedy. It has its sad parts that could make it seem like a tragedy. Considering that it has little aspects of both, I'm going to say that it doesn't really fit into a category. This play is unique in many different ways, so it doesn't really need a category. The first thing that makes it unique is that a main character in the story is also the narrator. This creates extreme bias in everything that takes place, because it is all told from Tom's perspective. It also has the transparent screen that kind of point out what is being focused on and differentiates between when Tom is a narrator and when he is a character. A third unique part is that it seems mostly realistic, but it has a major character that does not appear on stage except for in a picture. The father of the family makes multiple key appearances and affects the daily life in the play, but a picture of him is all that the audience sees. This strange character is another way that this play doesn't really fit into a category.
