SYNOPSIS

A Hilarious Farce
by Paul Slade Smith

Two cops. Three crooks. Eight doors. Go. In a cheap motel room, an embezzling mayor is supposed to meet with his female accountant, while in the room next-door, two undercover cops wait to catch the meeting on videotape. But there’s some confusion as to who’s in which room, who’s being videotaped, who’s taken the money, who’s hired a hit man, and why the accountant keeps taking off her clothes.

Unnecessary Farce was produced by HHT in 2014.

UNNECESSARY FARCE is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection. (www.dramatists.com)

PLEASE  BE  ADVISED: Gunfire is simulated in this production with a prop gun and blank ammunition.
