UNNECESSARY FARCE BY PAUL SLADE SMITH: The Santa Cruz Shoestring Players

Two cops. Three crooks. Eight doors. Go. In an economy motel room, an embezzling mayor is supposed to meet with his female accountant. In the room next door, two undercover cops are supposed to catch the meeting on videotape. But there’s some confusion as to who’s in which room, who’s watching the video, who’s taken the money, who’s hired a hitman, and why the accountant keeps taking off her clothes. Unnecessary Farce is an award-winning stage comedy by Paul Slade Smith that combines all the elements of classic farce with a contemporary American plot. Unnecessary Farce is presented through special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service. Directed by Ron Heiss. Unnecessary Farce contains occasional strong language and characters in compromising positions for comedic effect.
