On dfw.com, Punch Shaw talks to the playmakers behind Circle Theatre’s Boeing-Boeing about what makes good comedy work:

“Comedy has to run on a clock and be very rigid. But it has to look really easy,” says Robin Armstrong, who is directing the show, which opens Circle Theatre’s 30th season. “It needs to look like Fred Astaire dancing. Everybody should go, ‘Oh, I could do that.’ But, of course, very few people can.”
