production issue

I attended the performance, along with a full house. Overall, it seemed to me that everyone in the audience enjoyed it, which is a comparative rarity in the theatre these days. For this the director, actors and backstage staff need to be congratulated.

However, it was a tremendous surprise to me when, from the first time that she spoke, most of the audience laughed, sometimes raucously, every time that Amanda delivered a line. Incredibly, the audience also laughed at many of Tom's lines. His character has a complex nature; sad, bitter, disillusioned and unfulfilled, certainly not capable of light-hearted throwaway lines. There are a few comedic episodes, involving him or Laura and Amanda, but the play is not, in any sense of the word, a comedy.

Why did the audience laugh so much when Amanda spoke? I would be interested to hear some opinions.
