March 2000 saw an excellent production of A Slap in the Farce by Eugène Labiche and Edouard Martin set in Monsieur Lecouque's living room in Paris in 1867. This performance took place in Karibu Hall on Moshi Campus and was the first in our two French farces performed this year. A Matter of Wife and Death was performed in June.
