Event
The Tale of the Allergist's Wife
5/9/2009 - 5/24/2009
Rounding out Gallery Players' 60th season in Spring 2009 will be The Tale of the Allergist's Wife by Charles Busch. The play is the story of how one woman deals with her own mid-life crisis. Marjorie Taub, who lives comfortably with her doctor husband, Ira, in an expensively furnished condo near Zabar's, spends her days and evenings pursuing culture at various museums and the theatre. Her ongoing effort to improve her mind and soul has brought her 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 impacting her marriage as well.
