Louise is at the King’s street parade. And then it happens: her underpants fall down. In that instant – that fleeting fluttering of delicate fabric – Louise’s life changes. Her small-minded repressive idiot husband Theo is outraged, and a succession of amorous men start beating a path to Louise’s door, hoping for another glimpse. Suddenly, the mousy Louise is a star – famous, desired and the middle of a swirling cauldron of celebrity. Steve Martin has adapted Carl Sternheim’s 1911 comedy Die Hosen and this is a silly, naughty and rollicking ride of slapstick and gags. But underneath the trademark Steve Martin hilarity are subtle touches of the examination of fame, fidelity and anti-semitism. The University of Adelaide Theatre Guild’s production of The Underpants is the South Australian premiere of this wonderful comedy. It will be directed by John Wells, who directed Tom Stoppard’s The Real Inspector Hound for the Theatre Guild in 2006. The Real Inspector Hound wowed audiences and won a swag of awards. Wells assembled a tight cast of brilliant comedians for The Real Inspector Hound and will do so again for The Underpants. Roles Available: LOUISE 20-30 years old Female lead Will be on stage in her underwear briefly (which will stay on!) THEO 28-45 years old Male lead Louise’s pig-dog of a husband Aggressive, stupid and simple VERSATI 28-45 years old One of Louise’s admirers A failed poet and over-sexed fop COHEN 28-45 years old Jewish, hypochondriac barber Fights with Versati for Louise’s affections All actors need experience and skill in comedic acting.
