The Underpants

Alley Theatre, Houston

About the Show

Sex, lies, and lingerie! Let the fun begin with comedian Steve Martin’s latest work for the theatre, The Underpants. Martin’s hilarious adaptation of Carl Sternheim’s classic German comedy Die Hose embraces the chaos that befalls a neglected housewife after she loses her underpants in public, allowing her to acquire some surprising admirers who choose to rent rooms in her very own house. A play about sex, politics, feminism, and sexism, directed by Scott Schwartz, director of the Off-Broadway hits Batboy:The Musical, Golda’s Balcony and Tick, Tick…Boom!
