About the Show
Based on Carl Sternheim's controversial early 20th-century satire, Die Hose, The Underpants is a farcical send-up of middle-class snobbery and conformity. The Underpants tells the story of a puritanical bureaucrat and his pretty, young wife who becomes an instant celebrity when her bloomers accidentally fall down in public. Steve Martin uses saucy jokes, witty wordplay, and slamming doors to lampoon our contemporary culture's fascination with fame.
