Presents The Tale of the Allergist's Wife by Charles Busch
May 1, 2, 8 & 9, 2009
Busch explores the NYC Upper West Side milieu of aspiring
intellectual and middle-aged upper class matron Marjorie Taub, who
lives comfortably with her doctor husband Ira in their tastefully
appointed condo near Zabar's and spends her days and evenings
pursuing culture at various museums and the theatre. Her ongoing
effort to improve her mind and soul has brought Marjorie to the
conclusion she never will be more than mediocre, a feeling
enhanced by her elderly mother's constant complaints about her
shortcomings and her husband's altruistic dedication to serving
the needs of the homeless. Following an emotional outburst in a
Disney Store resulting in considerable breakage, Marjorie retires
to the safety of her home to wallow in a mid-life crisis.
Unexpectedly invading her depression is flamboyant childhood
friend Lee who, much like The Man Who Came to Dinner, becomes
entrenched in the Taub household as a seemingly permanent guest,
not only drawing Marjorie out of her dark mood, but affecting her
marriage as well (details).
