A separate article on black comedy exists. I think the two terms are related but different, and need to be differentiated. 66.167.253.16 07:16, 22 October 2005 (UTC).
Aren't they the same thing, one of which just has a longer and sillier name?
This article doesn't seem to have a Neutral Point Of View. Examples:
This article has several references to commentators without links to sources. Is it possible this article is largely taken from somewhere else? Wakedream ( talk) 08:05, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
I think Sondheim's play Sweeney Todd is a great example of a tragicomedy. If no one objects I think I'll add that into the article under the examples. 76.24.182.188 ( talk) 02:21, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
I'm not sure if dark comedy and black comedy are the same thing: dark comedy is certainly tragicomedy, but black comedy seems to imply tragedy as farce, where we are not meant by the author to care very much about the characters. The Anome
I do not think the opening definition is accurate. A tragicomedy is not a "serious play with a happy ending". It is a tragedy with comic aspects. i.e. Uncle Vanya by Chekhov.

This article could mention Henrik Ibsen, as according to the Encyclopaedia Brittanica, some of his plays, such as The Wild Duck, reflect a tragicomic view of human existence. Vorbee ( talk) 17:52, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
Do we not see any Tragicomedy today still? Jamiemcphaul ( talk) 19:12, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
The England section is completely unsourced, yet makes claims concerning specific meaning, contains extensive quotations, reviews how successful specific playwrights were, and even contains information on the popularity of the genre.
