I'm doing a series of farce scenes with some students and I need to pull some scenes from a bunch of plays. Any thoughts on any good scenes from particular plays that could be fun to study farce with?

Are you able to do scenes which depend on scenery e.g. slamming doors?

If you're just studying farce - then scenes from Lend Me A Tenor, Noises Off, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way To The Forum, Coconuts, Leading Ladies, What The Butler Saw, One Man Two Guvnors, Charley's Aunt, Boeing Boeing. Blithe Spirit, The Foreigner.
