DESCRIPTION

Concocted by comic genius Steve Martin, 'The Underpants' is a hilarious, sophisticated adaptation of Carl Sternheim's 1910 farce about a housewife who becomes a not altogether unwilling celebrity when she accidentally loses her underpants in public--much to the dismay of her conservative bureaucrat husband. Chaos follows in this witty comedy that explores fidelity, sexuality and hidden desire.
