Tacoma Little Theatre opens its 98th
season with a frothy bit of silliness called “The Underpants” from the
multi-talented Steve Martin, renowned comic, actor, writer and musician who
wrote the brilliant Picasso at the Lapine Agile. It is hard to
believe that Steve Martin wrote this one.
At best, it is good for a few laughs. There is some
entertaining word play, it pokes fun at sexist attitudes that were prevalent
when the play is set, in the first decade of the 20th century –
attitudes that in some quarters still exist today. It is also mildly risqué and
would have been even more so in 1910.
