Unnecessary Farce
by Paul Slade Smith

Don't miss the regional premiere of this brand new farce by a Chicago playwright!

The setting of this hilarious new play is two adjoining rooms in an economy motel where two inexperienced police officers have been sent to videotape a meeting between the local Mayor and the town's accountant, with the aim of uncovering an embezzlement scheme.  Things begin to unravel when the Mayor runs into one of the officers in the lobby, and we discover that the other officer is having an affair with the accountant!  The Mayor's nervous security guard reveals that the embezzled money is a plot by the Scottish Mafia and that "the Highland Hit Man" is on the way!  Meanwhile, the Mayor's wife has arrived.  Is she merely concerned for her husband, or could she somehow be involved in the criminal plot? The twists and turns will keep you laughing until the final moments!
