The Underpants is a razor-sharp, laugh-out-loud comedy adapted by Steve Martin from the 1910 German farce by Carl Sternheim. What begins as a tiny public mishap - a woman’s bloomers falling down at the worst possible moment - explodes into a deliciously absurd chain reaction of ambition, lust, ego and social climbing. Martin’s adaptation crackles with wit and modern bite, skewering status and respectability while embracing the glorious silliness of farce. Fast, clever and wickedly relevant, this is comedy with teeth - and legs.
