The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife

Marsha Mason, Tony Roberts and Jobeth Williams star in this stylish and clever comedy by Charles Busch, a 2001 Tony nominee for Best Play. Marjorie Taub is a New York dilettante, a middle-aged doctor’s wife who is hooked on culture: mornings at the Whitney, afternoons at MOMA, evenings at BAM. Plunged into a mid-life crisis of Medea-like proportions, she’s shaken out of her lethargy by the reappearance of a fascinating childhood friend.
