THE UNDERPANTS presented by The Carnegie, April 10-26.
Alluringly pretty housewife Louisa ignites debauchery in Dusseldorf when her underpants accidentally fall down during the king’s parade, shaming her stuffy husband and driving feverish interest in the room the couple are trying to rent. As Louisa tangles with hilariously lecherous tenants, her flirtations with fantasies and adventure reveal more to a woman’s life than serving her husband.
