A Time to Laugh is a perceptive and provocative study of a teenage boy as he comes to terms with the death of a parent.

Written with the same blend of comedy and compassion that characterised Ours But to Do, David Hill's earlier successful play for teenagers, A Time to Laugh holds many moments of recognition for adolescents and their parents.

A minimum of scenery, a wide range of character roles, and an emphasis on relevant language make A Time to Laugh highly suitable for classroom use, as well as more extensive production.
