You'll love this rollicking farce told with the wacky sensibility of Steve Martin! Yes, THE Steve Martin. This funny story set in 1910 is about a pretty young woman who accidentally loses her underpants while watching a parade to the dismay of her stuffy bureaucrat husband. Martin hysterically comments on our celebrity-mad culture with its 15-minutes-of-fame syndrome. "An ambitious amalgam of comic book and social commentary, made out of sex jokes, slamming doors, and sophisticated repartee."– The New York Times "A brilliant, hilarious, mad adaptation…"–New York Post
