Two new theatre finds with pie scenes.
Thanks for keeping your eyes open for these, Robert. I love a bit of theatre messy!
Bringing pleasure to literally tens of people!
Not sure that this looks or sounds like my kind of thing, but it fits this category, I suspect.

The first poster's links are of two different plays....the first involves multiple pie hits of a male and female (female is attractive [not as much as the lead, but still...])...kind of a 'screwball' comedy play. (but the pies are really good for theatre -- not SC and not runny at all)....the second link is the German play with one caking (shown) of a fairly attractive female with her hair tied back) getting a single cake in the face (chocolate and cream)...pretty decent though not great (but we do not see the complete action sequence).
The second posters links are to a review of a one-woman show called LAID...kind of a Margaret Atwood meets Groundhog Day performance art show. Here's a critic quote:
"there is a serious message here but actually my advice would be not to dwell too long on what all of it means. LAID, which is directed by former Edinburgh Comedy Award winner Doctor Brown, is physical theatre at its most absurd and visceral. It deserves to be judged as such. Forget meaning for a second; perhaps sometimes it's just fine to laugh at a woman covered in egg yolk attempting to play the trumpet."

'Our Favorite (Pie) Hits' now available!
Related, in you're into wetlook. Look up some of the works of Don Zolidis. He's a rather prolific American playwright who seems to have an above average frequency of water being thrown in his scripts.
One of my favourites is a scene from his play "It's Not You, It's Me". The script is just a series of comedic scenes featuring couples breaking up. The last one has the couple at a restaurant, trying to outdo each other to appear worse. It ends with them throwing their glasses of water in each other's faces. There's a pause, then an unattentive waiter passes by, filling up their glasses, leading to another round of water throwing.
A word of warning, though. Much of Zolidis's work is marketed at High Schools, so if you YouTube it, you're likely to find High Schoolers.

Nice finds. Don Zolidis is new to me.
Here's a list I've made of theatre plays with WAM. Well known plays are often produced in different languages so if you can find a foreign language title it might bring some nice finds.

That's quite a list! I know of at least one title you can add to it -- Travesties by Tom Stoppard. My understanding is that the original play as written does not specify a pie fight, but it has often been added to most later productions of it. The pie fight is a tit for tat affair between two ladies in Victorian underwear. It is based on a scene in The Importance of Being Earnest (the Wilde play which Travesties is in part a parody/reworking of) in which two women have a philosophical argument and punctuate their points by putting sugar cubes in one another's teacups. The Travesties productions that employ pies in the face use these in place of the sugarcubes in the tea. (The idea in the original is that the ladies are ruining one another's tea with absurd amounts of sugar. Obviously this is extremely genteel 'punishment' compared to giving one another multiple pies to the face. And also, of course, they were not stripped down ot their underwear in the original.)
I also read, long ago, about a short play that was put on at least several times in the 80s and 90s (and possibly again since then), but I have forggoten both the title and author. It was described as a parody of group therapy sessions. It climaxes with a "trust exercise" in which each member of the group receives a pie in the face from another member.
