DC Premiere
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.
DC Metro Theater Arts Review
“Where this production really shined was in the skillfully sharp and rapid-fire delivery of the play’s many and constant absurdities.”
MD Theatre Guide Review
“Part traditional and part bedroom farce…Unnecessary Farce is a well received and a timely poke at all things sly and silly.”
