All in the Timing - by David Ives

The Story

A collection of comedies about mis-timing and misinterpreting of language.  Misusing words can cause trouble or create humorous situations and yet the only way out of the whole mess is to use the very tool that created the problem in the first place -- language. Collectively, All in the Timing shows that absurdity and lunacy are an integral part of life -- but it is hope that, in the end, always reigns supreme.

“Winner of the John Gassner Playwriting Award, this critically acclaimed, award-winning evening of comedies combines wit, intellect; and just plain fun. A hilarious sextet whether played together or separately. ‘Like sketches for some hilarious, celestially conceived revue. The writing is not only very funny, it has the density of thought and precision of poetry. . . . All in the Timing is by a master of fun. David Ives spins hilarity out of words.’—Vincent Canby, New York Times.
