The Underpants
JANUARY 9-FEBRUARY 9, 2014
By Steve Martin
Adapted from the play by Carl Sternheim
Directed by Gordon Edelstein
A co-production with Long Wharf Theatre
The Underpants Program
Dusseldorf, 1910. A very public wardrobe malfunction becomes the talk of the town in Steve Martin’s (yes, that Steve Martin!) ribald take on this uproarious German farce. (Yes, there is such a thing.) Chock-full of sexual innuendo and verbal jousting, The Underpants sends up the absurdity of instant fame. Das ist funny!
"Didi Conn (Frenchy in Grease, TV's "Benson") gets her laughs with knowing winks and exquisite timing."
