A full-length satirical play adapted by comic genius Steve Martin
This bawdy laugh-out-loud farce opens in scandal: conservative bureaucrat Theo Maske is outraged at his young wife Louise for allowing her bloomers to fall to the ground at a public parade for the king. As scandal unfolds into spectacle, a revolving door of infatuated would-be renters and one unabashedly nosy neighbor orbit around Louise.
Renaissance man Steve Martin has reinvigorated Carl Sternheim’s classic 1910 German play Die Hose for modern times. Filled with off-the-wall humor, wordplay, masterful banter, and Martin’s signature absurdity, The Underpants is an irreverent and witty satire on gender roles, our infatuation with sex, and the fleeting thrill of fame.
Presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.
