The Underpants
Adaptation by Steve Martin
A play by Carl Sternheim
Directed by Sean Collins
The Underpants is presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.

In Steve Martin’s adaptation of Carl Sternheim’s 1910 farce, Louise Maske’s world turns upside down when she finds her underpants around her ankles during a parade for the King. Her dogmatic, puritanical husband Theo is shocked and appalled, sensing a scandal that may spell his financial ruin. To avert disaster, Theo offers their spare room for rent, oblivious his potential boarders are would-be suitors… whose passions have been ignited by a glance at his wife’s underpants!

As entanglements grow, the absurdity of human behaviour casts a comic criticism on gender politics, sexual enslavement and undeserved fame.
