Unnecessary Farce at Keegan Theatre

Two cops, three crooks and eight doors add up to one night full of laughs in Unnecessary Farce. Filled with doors slamming, clothes flying and bagpipes piping, this award-winning, over-the-top comedy by Paul Slade Smith centers on two inept police officers assigned to bring down a corrupt mayor in a sting operation. But everything that can go wrong does, leading to mix-ups and mayhem on both sides of the law. With its rapid-fire barrage of bawdy jokes and increasingly ridiculous situations, it would be a crime to miss this production of Unnecessary Farce at the Keegan Theatre in Washington, D.C.
