The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife

Marjorie Taub, the wife of a philanthropic allergist, is engulfed in a life crisis in this critically-acclaimed comedy. With her children grown, her beloved therapist recently dead and her mother incessantly needling her, she finds herself in an empty nest without much interest in anything. Her spirits suddenly soar when a fascinating and incredibly worldy friend from her childhood appears on her door step. The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife is a deliciously devious social satire that won the Outer Critics Circle John Gassner Award in 2000 and was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Play.
