Main Street Theatre Works presents "The Underpants"

Description

Steve Martin's has written a wild adaptation of a classic German play (Der Hose) about Louise and Theo Markes, a couple whose conservative world is shattered when Louise's bloomers fall down in public, while waving to the king. Though she pulls them up quickly, Theo is convinced the incident will cost him his job as a government clerk. Amid this chaos he's trying to rent a room in their flat. The prospective lodgers have some underlying surprises of their own. In The Underpants, Steve Martin brings his comic genius and sophisticated literary style to Carl Sternheim's classic 1910 farce.
