As part of a study on physical acting I'm searching for slapstick plays specifically those involving pie in the face humor or getting splashed with water.

Already familiar with classics like Mack and Mabel, Three Stooges, Comic Potential but would appreciate if anyone could call out others plays in the genre.

Many thanks
Beverly

London Suite, No Sex Please...We're British, Noises Off, Im not sure the specifics of the physical humor, but I remember a lot in all those shows

I'm pretty sure someone keeps getting water thrown on them in The Drowsy Chaperone.

That's pure vodka, you poop!


When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain. -Kad

Animal Crackers may be something to look into.

Anything by Georges Feydeau. 'A Flea in Her Ear' is a great place to start.
