Originally Produced by BoarsHead Theater, Lansing, Michigan, Kristine Thatcher, Artistic Director
Unnecessary Farce is a very lighthearted fast paced play with tons of energy, movement and slapstick. The plot of the play is simple; two inept cops are sent to entrap the town’s mayor who is suspected of embezzling from the public’s budget. Working with an accountant, they set up a sting to get the dirt on the mayor. In the meantime they run up against the Scottish Mafia, a corrupt security officer and the wife of the mayor. The plan is flawless unless everything that can go wrong does – which is exactly what happens!
