Greetings from 2018!!
I have no idea how you guys were able to use Google back in 1997...
But anyway, I have to perform a Farce play for a school project too! Thanks for your suggestions! They're helpful even 11 years in the future (:

Google has nothing to do with it. Google Groups is just a Web gateway to
an Internet system called (among other names) USENET that was running
before the Web was invented. It’s nearly gone now, replaced by (ugh!) Facebook.

/You/ have to? There aren’t many one-handed farces; they’re hard to distinguish from stand-up routines.
If you mean you and a group, well, Aristophanes generally requires the audience to know a lot of ancient Greek politics, but Plautus is pretty straightforward. On the other hand, you might get into trouble for being
too nearly R-rated. Same thing for most modern farces. There’s always Shakespeare’s “The Comedy of Errors”. I tend to see “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead” as a farce, but your teacher might disagree with me. There’s an old chestnut called “And the Lamp Went Out”, but it’s basically mime, except for the narrator.
