The Underpants by Steve Martin

R'ville Stage Creations presents “The Underpants,” a full-length satirical play set in 1910 Dusseldorf. 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 and comic genius Steve Martin has reinvigorated Carl Sternheim's classic 1910 play “Die Hose” for modern audiences. 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.
