Montreal theatre company, Coffeehouse Theatre, presents the wildly hilarious comedy,

2PM Matinees Sept 23,24

“The Underpants”, originally written by Carl Sternheim and now adapted by the comedic genius of Steve Martin, revolves around Louise Maske; an ignored housewife whose underpants unexpectedly fall down while watching the King’s parade. Shortly after, various men begin showing up, under the guise of renting her and her husband Theo’s spare room, but secretly hoping to have an affair with the mysterious woman whose underpants captured their lustful imagination. This fast-paced farce is a non-stop stream of witty jokes that poke fun at the uptight bourgeois lifestyle of pre-war Europe and its views of politics and sex within the middle-class.

Tickets $15 for students and $18 for adults.
