Slapstick pie-in-the face, water, slime..

Posted: 7/27/14 at 5:30pm

Hi,

As a student, I am studying slapstick and need to find plays featuring messy scenes with water, pie in the face, slime, food etc.

I know the famous ones, singin in the rain, bugsy, high school musical but would appreciate any help on other less known plays.

Thanks
Julie

Try Laurel & Hardy.

Were there ever so many Laurel & Hardy plays? Is The Itchy & Scratchy Show a play?

The Itchy and Scratchy Show is less slapstick and more stab-knife.

Laurel & Hardy appeared in several stage sketches when they toured the U.K. music halls during the late 1940s and early '50s. The scripts for two of them ("The Drivers' License" and "Birds of a Feather") can be found in John McCabe's book The Comedy World of Stan Laurel.
