Comic Steve Martin has
reinvigorated Carl Sternheim’s 1910 sociopolitical play into a
laugh-out-loud farce complete with slamming doors, dropping drawers and
sexual innuendo. Reminiscent of the great period sex farce of Georges Feydeu
such as Hotel Paradiso or A Flea in Her Ear, The
Underpants is about a comely wife, married to a boorish bureaucrat
and longing for some adventure. She gets more than she bargained for after
her lacy bloomers fall down around her ankles while she stands on her toes
to watch a parade. Within minutes after her return home, several potential
suitors who had witnessed the indiscretion line up to rent the rooms she and
her husband have been trying for months to let.
