EXPERIENCE
 A Drawer-Dropping Farce

A Play by CARL STERNHEIM
Adaptation by STEVE MARTIN

Directed by Jonni Pera and Traci Brant

Only Steve Martin could see the zany possibilities in a pair of inadvertently dropped drawers! It happens to Theo’s wife Louise, when she stretches to get a better look at the king as he passes in parade. The primly bureaucratic Theo is horrified, and Martin’s wacky farce spins out from there into a series of delectably unpredictable events.

The Story: The renowned comic actor and author of Picasso at the Lapine Agile provides a wild satire adapted from the classic German play about Louise and Theo Markes, a couple whose conservative existence is shattered when Louise's bloomers fall down in public. Though she pulls them up quickly, he thinks the incident will cost him his job as a government clerk. Louise's momentary display does not result in the feared scandal but it does attract two infatuated men, each of whom wants to rent the spare room in the Markes' home. Oblivious of their amorous objectives, Theo splits the room between them, happy to collect rent from both the foppish poet and the whiny hypochondriac.
