The Tale of the Allergist's Wifeby Charles Busch
May 14 - June 1
Marjorie
Taub, a middle-aged Upper West Side Doctor’s wife, is devoted to mornings at
the Whitney, afternoons at MOMA and evenings at BAM. But Marjorie
is running on emotional empty. Her
window of artistic possibilities has closed. Plunged into a mid-life crisis of
Medea-like proportions, she is shaken out of her lethargy by the reappearance
of a fascinating - and mysterious childhood friend.
Busch gives us a window-rattling comedy of
midlife malaise. He makes mirth out of misery with this intelligently funny and
satirically written modern day parable – full
of sound and fury - signifying a lot of hearty laughing.
Without the J, our lives would be completely different. It is a complement and supplement to our family.
