THIS POST IS UPDATED TO INCLUDE THAT A SHOW HAS BEEN ADDED JULY 9 AT 3PM

BRIGHTON, MI—The Wilde Theatre here is presenting Unnecessary Farce, by Paul Sade Smith, from June 22 through July 2.

The play’s synopsis: 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.

A suspicious accountant suspects the mayor of embezzling funds, and so sets a meeting in a cheap motel room. In the room next door, two cops endeavor to get proof of illegal activity on video tape. Now the underprepared cops try to figure out who’s being videotaped, who’s in the next room, and who has hired a hitman!

The Wilde Theatre is at 111 S. West Street, Brighton, MI 48116 (behind Jameson’s Irish Pub).
