Winner of the Outer Critics Circle John Gassner Award.

Marjorie Taub, the wife of a philanthropic allergist, is engulfed in a life crisis of Medea-like proportions. Her children are grown, her beloved therapist died recently and her mother, obsessed with bowel movements, grates on her nerves. Her spirits suddenly soar when a fascinating and incredibly worldly friend from her childhood appears on her doorstep. Lee, the savior that infuses Marjorie with life, quickly becomes Lee the unwelcome and sinister guest.

Though it’s only January, I’m going to predict that you won’t see a better cast in any North Texas production this year than the one Theatre Arlington has assembled for The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife.
