My friend very kindly lent me this particular book.

At first glance, it seemed quite funny and had the potential to be an enjoyable read. However, as I delved deeper into it, I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed with the rather excessive amount of crass innuendo that was scattered throughout.

I suppose, in hindsight, I should have expected such a thing considering the source from which the book originated. Oh well, there's not much I can do about that now.

On the positive side, it did manage to give me a chuckle here and there, and there were definitely some parts that were quite cleverly written.

Overall, though, when it comes to plays, I felt that this one was somewhat flat. It didn't really have that spark or that something extra that would have made it truly stand out.

Nonetheless, I'm still grateful to my friend for lending it to me and giving me the opportunity to read it.

Funny but passable. It's a play that manages to bring a smile to your face despite its flaws. The story might not be the most original or deeply profound, but it has its moments of entertainment. The characters are somewhat caricatured, which adds to the comical effect. The dialogue is filled with witty remarks and humorous situations that keep you engaged. While it may not be a masterpiece, it serves its purpose of providing light-hearted amusement. You can sit back, relax, and enjoy the show for what it is. It's not going to change your life, but it will surely give you a few laughs and a break from the daily grind.

I had the privilege of working at Classic Stage during the time when Steve released this remarkable off-broadway production. It is truly an amazing retelling, brought to life by a comedic master. The way he weaves the story together with his unique brand of humor is simply captivating. What's more, he not only showcases his comedic talents but also his musical skills as he plays the banjo. The combination of his comedic performance and the beautiful melodies of the banjo creates a truly unforgettable experience for the audience. It's no wonder that this production has received such rave reviews. I feel extremely fortunate to have been a part of it and to have witnessed Steve's incredible talent up close.

This is an odd little play.

It moves along at a rapid pace, filled with several funny moments that manage to bring a smile to the face. However, when it comes to substance, it falls short in my opinion.

To be considered a great comedy, it needs more depth and a stronger narrative.

Nonetheless, I do think that the actors can have a great deal of fun with it.

They can bring the characters to life and make the most of the humorous situations presented.

The play has its charm, but it could be improved with a bit more thought and development.

Perhaps with some tweaks and adjustments, it could become a truly memorable and engaging piece of theater.

Overall, it's an interesting little play that shows promise but still has some room for growth.

If you ever desire something to serve as a reminder that beneath all those countless piles of bad movies, Steve Martin is indeed exceptionally brilliant, then you must peruse this remarkable translation.

Martin had the remarkable ability to take an old-fashioned play and breathe new life into it, all while still maintaining its historical and international essence.

It is a truly feminist work that predates the popularity of feminism. It tells the story of a woman, her foolish husband, a noisy neighbor, numerous suitors, and the power of a pair of saggy (tied with a string) underpants.

This had me convulsing with fits of laughter at certain points. I would assert that behind his early stand-up comedy and outstanding essay collections (Pure Drivel has been repeatedly reread on my bookshelf), this is one of Steve Martin's greatest accomplishments.

Now, if only he would cease writing novels.

One of the best plays I've read in a while is truly remarkable.

It has a certain charm that lies in its off-color nature, which might seem a bit risqué at first. However, don't let that fool you because it is also hilarious beyond measure.

The play manages to blend the inappropriate and the comical in a way that keeps you engaged from start to finish.

The characters are well-developed, and their interactions are filled with witty banter and unexpected twists.

It's the kind of play that makes you laugh out loud, even when you know you probably shouldn't.

Overall, it's a great read that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a good laugh and a unique theatrical experience.

Steve Martin is truly brilliant!

I have been a devoted fan ever since his wild and crazy guy days. However, he has now evolved into one of the most perceptive humorists in the industry. Whether it is in films, where he showcases his talent as both an actor and a screenwriter, or as an acclaimed author of books and plays, he never fails to impress.

The Underpants is a modern adaptation of an old German play by Carl Sternheim. In this play, a woman is standing on her balcony as the King's procession passes by. Suddenly, her underpants fall down. She isn't overly concerned, believing that everyone's attention will be focused on the King. But that's not the case at all. Instead, hilarity unfolds.

I would absolutely love to see this play performed. I can only imagine the laughter and entertainment it would bring to the audience. Steve Martin's unique brand of humor is sure to shine through in this adaptation, making it a must-see production.

So, go ahead and give it a try – you won't be disappointed!
