Two cops. Three crooks. Eight doors. And.....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 who's in which room, who's being videotaped, who's taken the money, who's hired a hit man, and why does the accountant keep taking off her clothes???

Unnecessary Farce is a contemporary American farce, in the tradition of Lend Me A Tenor (but contemporary) and Noises Off (but American). It’s a traditional door slamming, innuendo laden, over-the-top tale of mix-ups and mayhem that’s laugh out loud funny from start to finish.
