What is the author's style in The House of Blue Leaves by John Guare?

Parabasis is defined as characters directly addressing the audience. Nearly every major character in The House of Blue Leaves talks to the audience. This makes the audience part of the story; the audience is a participant rather than an observer.

Throughout The House of Blue Leaves, numerous references to and imitations of animals appear. Animals represent purity, the opposite of the superficial values many of the characters possess.
