The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife

Charles Busch directs his The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife, a 2001 Tony nominee for Best Play. This stylish and clever comedy tells the story of New York dilettante Marjorie Taub, 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. Jobeth Williams and Richard Kind and Estelle Harris star.
