*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.
